This footage of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 running on an iPhone surfaced yesterday and the port appears to be coming from LTI Gray Matter, a company which has done work for Activision in the past.
THPS2 was an amazing game in its day, and this looks like a pretty impressive port in one of those clinical kind of "wow, you managed to get it running" sort of ways. But I can't imagine that I'd really get much enjoyment out of using the four spots on the screen to hit buttons while steering and selecting tricks with an accelerometer.
Do you ever get the impression that a lot of iPhone developers are just kind of doing things because they can instead of really thinking and developing great iPhone games? All this footage makes me want to do is hook up my PlayStation and play the real thing.
