Hit each mountain with a faint heart and lots of tricks.

Shaun White snowboaring grabs me as the kind of game you can do with if you miss your snowboard and wish you had booked that snowy holiday to the mountains this year, of course its not like the real thing its kind of going to take a long time before the recreate full VR snowboarding to quite the state of the chill you get on the slopes. With an assortment of gear to customise your rider and a few unlockable gear from just registering online with Ubi I find snowboarding on the SW format pleasurable. To grab the most air and speed your going to have to unlock missions and grab medallions which aren't so tough. It only becomes tough once you have unlocked all speed, strength and air boosts. Its all done in a really playable way opening up the mountain could of have been done better but free ride options allow you to customise where you wish to go, saving struggles to the top a choice of chair lift or simply pushing 'back' on your controller and then selecting your destination. Multiplayer can be fun with friends, but is crammed full of people only wishing to gain $ and performing un-notable glitchy flips over and over again which looks kind of stupid and puts a hampering on your actual learning curve. Why pull off a long trick when you can just do that one trick over and over. Sad really. But its about pulling off tricks and not flattening out face first fast. The tricks make sense but so far I didn't lock anything extra amazing or cool. Perhaps that is later in the game. Don't get frustrated with the game, cause you will only be fooling yourself. Get what you can out of it, enjoy the ride, the stoked music, and then sell it or exchange it. Peace out brother. Long live the snow!
