Shaun White Snowboarding - Review
Wow, this is a great snowboarding racer, with fast and good looking graphics
The WII version of this snowboard racing game can be played with a WII Balance Board, which really adds to the realism. The controls system has been very well designed and playing with the balance balance board makes the game feel very natural, although it does take some getting used too especially if you are a newbie to Snowboarding.
I can highly recommend multiplayer mode, which allows you to complete against friends on the split screen, or you can play in co-operative mode, in which you have to work together to complete the tracks and achieve the medals. When playing in multiplayer mode, we found it better when all players use the same control system to ensure no one has an unfair advantage.
A good choice of mountains, tracks and riders gives plenty of selection and longetivety to the game. Each rider has different skills and abilities, you start with one rider and have to unlock the others as you work your way through the game. The key to completing the game lies with selecting the best boarder for the particular event.
One of the best Snowboard Racing Games available.
