Overall, X Games Pro Boarder is the best snowboarding game out for the PlayStation.
Overview:
X Games Pro Boarder captures the snowboarding experience like no other PlayStation game before. Sure, it has some things in common with the Cool Boarders series, but with features like real music, great graphics, intuitive control, plus tons of events and tracks, it has a lot more to offer.
You can choose to ride as any one of eight of the best snowboarders in the world including: five-time world champion Terje Jaakonsen, Tina Basich, Peter Line Todd Richards, Olympic medallist Shannon Dunn, Daniel Franck, Morgan Lafonte, and Jamie Lynn.
The game starts out with five events, half pipe, big air jump, trick course, jump/trick event, and a race. The trick course is a long course that has tons of monster jumps to launch off of as well as a good number of rails, picnic tables, and logs to rail-slide on. The idea on this course is to accumulate more points than your competitors by launching off of jumps and pulling off crazy midair tricks and maneuvers. The big air jump track is a short steep course that has a giant jump at the end of it. You have to fly off the end of this killer jump and pull off the wickedest midair move you can think of. The game allows you multiple attempts and just counts your best jump. Once you score gold in each of these events, you unlock circuit mode. In circuit mode, you must place first in each of the five events and you only get three chances to do it. It's a little rough, but once you complete the circuit mode, all your hard work is rewarded with a new mode and four new courses.
