Santa Monica, Calif. — October 24, 2006 — Family and friends can travel the

globe and sprint towards the finish line with the first ever downhill

skateboard racing game, Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam for Nintendo DS™, now

available at retail stores nationwide. Developed by Vicarious Visions and

published by Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), the game builds upon the

design of Tony Hawk’s American SK8Land and pushes the limits of Nintendo DS

hardware by introducing voice chat over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection

allowing players to communicate with other DS players worldwide.

“Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam introduces innovative technology never seen before

on the DS," said Will Kassoy, senior vice president of global brand

management, Activision, Inc. “In addition to supporting up to four players

in co-op or head-to-head competition modes."

Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam for DS allows players to experience the breakneck

speed of downhill skateboard racing as they tear up the steepest terrains in

the world while performing tricks and outmaneuvering opponents in locations

such as the crowded streets of San Francisco and rocky terrain of

Kilimanjaro. Gamers will feel the adrenaline rush as they travel the globe

and shred downhill with Tony Hawk while making the gravel and dust fly.

Featuring cutting edge Nintendo DS technology, such as breakthrough

graphics, voice chat, and local wireless and online gameplay using Nintendo

Wi-Fi Connection for up to four players, Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam for

Nintendo DS delivers an incredible online handheld experience.
