I initially thought this was a really bad game, but after playing it for a while I came to really like this game.
Some of the things that I liked about the game were the tracks left in the snow after you cut thru an area and seeing the different levels of powers on the mountain. It seem cool that the snow was coming down at different rates and some times not even at all. The weather system was a great idea, but not as good as it could have been.
The controller at first seems really difficult. After I figured out what to do, they were some what alright. Not exactly to my liking but workable. The tutorial to teach you how to control your boarder is terriable. I could barely figure out what to do to complete each tutorial challenge, but with a little trial and error I finally figured it out with no help from the tutorial guide. It as very confusing and didn't tell me what I needed to do, just lucked out with the trial and error thing.
That's some of good about the game. Here's what bad about the game.
The snow boarder gets stuck on trees, in corners, against building, against a trackor, against a fence and even once in the snow. It takes you 20 or 30 second to figure out how to get you snow boarder free if your lucky. A few times I had to just end the session and start over.
The refresh of a snow boarder after you crash sometimes put you pointing up the mountain instead of down the mountain. It is extremely hard to get your boarder moving again.
Once I learned the little things and expected them a little bit more and learned what to expect out of the game as far as game play, I would say I really liked the game.
