    With more tricks than your average magician, Snowboard Hero offers frenetic fun on the slopes, held together by an intuitive career mode that keeps you on track from start to finish.

    Certainly Snowboard Hero isn't a perfect game, but it's a little title every SSX fan should have on the iPhone. The game provides a great variety of challenges and a lot of unlockable contents, but the lack of a multiplayer mode is its real weakness.
