Beautiful, Fast, and irritating...

First off, when I bought this, I thought this was going to be exactly like the old cool borders games. I was horribly mistaken. I started off riding a helicopter up the very top of the Park City mountain, and was amazed at what was in front of me. When I started off, I didn't have much choice but to go down. I quickly came across some inviting paths and slopes, which were followed by enormous cliffs, which gives you enough air time to score massive amounts of points. As I continued, everything I saw, from cliff to cliff was completely natural and beautiful, every last inch. Continuing down, I started to see some forest, and accidentally ran into a tree. I saw many paths leading off of the one I was taking, took a few, and ended up back on one of the main slopes. After some time speeding down the mountain and launching of the natural slopes, I started to see some other boarders, and the, some made made slopes and rails. I must be getting to the half way point. On the rest of the way down, I saw a bunch of rails, giant man-made slopes, half-pipes, chair lifts, tournament spots, and boarders (got hit with a snow ball once). Then, at the bottom, I realized that it was time to begin my task. Collecting those euros.

This is when the game began to let me down. It was pretty easy at park city's mountain, but once at the other mountains, it was a little irritating. I started at the top of the first mountain, and passed up the slope I needed to take. Since it is to boring, slow, and annoying to go back, I just started at a near by chair lift. I found out that wasn't even the right one. It took a few tries until I finally got it, especially on the harder ones where it is very possible for you to completely pass it up. Another thing that made this annoying is that a times, your person your controlling gets stuck, and the games acts as if he's still moving.



Graphics - B

A haven't had time to compare the graphics to other Xbox 360 games, but when I stood on top of Alaska's Mountain's peak, I almost wet my pants.


Sound - A

I have never went snowboarding, but the sound in this game is incredibly realistic.


Motion - B

This game has very realistic movements. However, speed between a steep slope and a gradual slope does not have mush difference.


Quality - C

Like I mentioned above, that glitch can make this game quite irritating.


Gameplay - A

I am sure we all know what snowboarding is, this game sure does know.


Online - (hold on)

I don't have my Xbox live set up yet, but I will update this when I do.



I would recommend this to anyone who can live with a flaw or two, and has online access, or anyone who loves game freedom, which means not having many limits, because this game, has hardly any limits.
