90All of the high-speed grinding, nosebleed big-air tricks, and spectacular board-twisting, body-contorting tricks of THPS are just as eye-catching and thumb-numbing as they were before, but now theyre enhanced by gorgeous snow-parks and powder-packed resorts.
-
Considering the remarkably silly subject matter, Palmers does an excellent job of providing some seriously enjoyable gaming.
-
If you enjoy challenging games or simply enjoy getting your ass handed to you, Shaun Palmer is a dream come true. [Dec 2001, p.93]
-
80Clothing rippling in the wind is just one of the smooth graphic touches, and the aggressive punk/hardcore soundtrack matches Palmers bad-boy personabut the sound effects arent terribly impressive.
-
One of the most intuitive and entertaining of the realistic snowboarding titles available today.
-
80If you can't get enough of Hawk or Hoffman, or dig the snowboarding scene and like solid trick-based games, this one's a sick choice.
-
77A solid and enjoyable snowboarding game that successfully brings Tony Hawk to the mountain.
-
77The game is pretty fun, but with its sort of linear game play (considering you're always moving down), and sometimes confusing objective layout, it doesn't quite sit as high on the throne as "Tony Hawk 3" does.
-
Once you slide past something you need, you cant back up that sucks. [Jan 2002, p.220]
-
58Fans will have to wait for a sequel to see more freedom and variety in gameplay.
-
50No, this game doesnt suck, but it has so little new that you cant help shake the feeling that its old hat and maybe a bit played out.
-
It's too scattered and feels poorly designed. [Jan 2002, p.134]
-
45Shaun Palmer may play like Tony Hawk, vaguely, but in the end you'll realize that it's nothing more than a rushed, sub-par entry into a genre that is already being dominated by EA Big's SSX series.
-
A fundamentally flawed game. It's a skateboarding game that's trying to be a snowboarding game, instead of trying even harder to be a good snowboarding game.
-
30For the love of God, buy "SSX Tricky." Shaun Palmer has a strong graphics engine and solid control, but if IGN gave out a "Fun Factor" score, this sucker would get a big, fat goose egg. Zero.
-
Where "Tony Hawk 3" is fast, flowing, and intuitive, Shaun Palmer is slow, disjointed and difficult to get into.
-
20I hate Shaun Palmers Pro Snowboarder, I curse the day it was conceived and I wish a horrible holiday season upon all of those who were involved in its production.

AgE10One of the best snowboarding games ever made. Pity the sequel was canned (was being produced by Treyarch!!) :-(
