With so many better snowboarding games out there why buy this one?
User Rating: 5.6 | Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder PS2
First of all: Who the hell is shaun palmer? Never heard of him before. Now that we are done with thats lets get the review over with. Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarded tried to create a Tony Hawk like franchise for snowboarding. It worked about as well as the surfing version of this (kelly slaters pro surfer) Maybe it has something to do with the game being an absolute load of crap? I think so. Overall the game lacks any fun values. It came at a similar time to SSX and dang its embarrased when you compare it to SSX because its BAD! Shaun Palmers snowboarding engine is horrible. It is WAY too easy to pull of crazy tricks but it trys to maintain realistic. The game is very easy. The multiplayer mode is actually pretty good. The push mode is actually a lot of fun to play. Other than that however this game is a snorefest. The graphics are ok for 2001 and now they are what we like to call BAD. The music is normally good for games like these but NO the music is horrible. With so many better snowboarding games out there like any of the SSX games or a game in the Amped series, Shaun Palmers Pro Snowboarder lacks any real selling points.
