A Great, fun and Innovative Snowboard Game!
At first glance this game may look a bit geeky but it is really a lot of fun and will keep you occupied for ages! It provides challenges, multiplayer, trick areas and there are heaps and heaps of boards, characters and more to unlock that will take ages!
Graphics 7/10
Pretty good Graphics although they do leave a lot to be desired. Characters all look very nice but the levels and courses look fantastic! The Items look good and are very creative. They look good in the box on the screen but even better when you use them.
Sound 10/10
I love all repetitive and catchy Video Game tunes. This game did not disappoint me. Its tunes are very repetitive but also you will be singing them all day. So if you don't like this sort of stuff press mute.
Controls 9/10
Superb controls. Very nice handling and the different button for different Items is very good. The general jumping and doing tricks are very nice but can be a little bit fiddly. Otherwise though the controls handle nicely and are quite easy to learn. At first they still may take quite a bit of practice before you get used to them. Tricks are vastly improved from the original as well. Now you can do as many tricks as you want off a jump! Just make sure you don't stack it...
Replay Value 9/10
There is so much to do the first time through but even after you master story you can play through against your friends in multiplayer or home your trick skills in tricks. Or you can just go back to story to increase your skills. You can also go back and try and collect as many coins as you can on a level or do a level as fast as you can.
Challenge 7/10
When you originally play the game you will find it challenging to beat the computers. But as you play more and figure out the quickest way through the course they can be quite easy. But there are lots of places to try and do cool tricks along the way which require a lot of practice.
Rent of Buy?
Whether you like snowboarding or not this game is a must get. It provides much entertainment for everyone and is a good challenge. There are many things to do and it is a lot of fun. If you are still not sure have a rent of it first.
Overall: 8.8/10
It really is a good game and will provide you with much enjoyment. You have got to love those really cool (and weird) looking characters. There are many challenges and fun is a guarantee!
