Try using the SetForegroundWindow Win32 API call, instead of ShowWindow, to activate the game window. (Signature from pinvoke.net.)

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Process[] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName("game");
    Process game1 = processes[0];

    IntPtr p = game1.MainWindowHandle;

    SetForegroundWindow(p);
    SendKeys.SendWait("{DOWN}");
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
    SendKeys.SendWait("{DOWN}");
}
