Lots of fun and addictive! Sometimes a 'quick 15 minute game' becomes an hour or more.
The thing that makes this game great is that the tricks are fairly easy to learn and pull off. There isnt any tedious missions where you try to do some super combo trick and you have to keep repeating the mission over and over again. You do learn some tricks, but it isnt hard.
As you progress through the game, you can unlock different mountains (Based on real ones). On these mountains, there are different events scattered around. You choose an event, and then you choose which lift you want to be dropped off from. Shred your way to the event and compete! If you want, you can even be dropped off at the top of the mountain and just freestyle your way down. The snow and scenery are very crisp and clear.
My favorite events are the ones where you fly down the hill in a sled, launch yourself off, and try to hurt yourself as much as possible. Now THAT is fun.
Simply put, this game is fun. I dont even snowboard, yet I enjoy this game immensly. You customize your own rider with different faces, clothes, boards, etc. There is a lot of punk/alternative music that seems to mesh with this game very nicely. Above all, the game has a really off the wall, bizarre storyline. Well, I guess the story itself isnt strange, but its the presentation of the story. You will see what I mean. I think the game creators were on some good (or bad?) meds.
