   I had so much fun playing the game! Being able to ride anywhere on the mountain made it seem more like really riding. My heart rate definitely increased when I triggered an avalanche! It's nice to play a game that is based on having fun and not blowing something or someone up. Thanks Shaun!… Expand

   I've been waiting for the next great snowboarding game for a long time and seemingly Shaun White Snowboarding was being heralded as the "premiere snowboarding game" of this generation.....and sadly, it missed the mark in several areas. For one, the graphics engine runs of the same one used for Assassins Creed....which is adequate enough and it uses it nicely but its simply not THAT impressive. the character models, mountains, and structures look nice but lack a certain detail to really make them "stand out" and it gives the game a rather vanilla look but luckily the framerate is fairly smooth. Soundwise....thats a toss-up because you're either gonna dig the music or completely HATE IT because its a mish-mash of pop-rock, hip-hop rock, rock, or some very disco-ish sounding music....and while some of it is acceptable....ALOT of if just dosen't fit at all and comes off being annoying. the soundeffects and voice acting are nice but Shaun Whites voice gets old after a while.....its just not very convincing and it sounds a bit lazy. the controls are ANOTHER mixed bag for this game....they also fall under the love it or hate it category. you steer and spin in the air with the left stick, you do grabs and "tricks" with the right stick, and you jump with L2......now this control set-up may not seem like a big deal....until you start ACTUALLY playing then it become a test in frustration. the controls aren't terrible, but it WILL put some gamers off should they have been expecting something more user-friendly.....with some practice its certainly playable....but mastering these controls will require some time and patience. Its a bit strange that ALL the mountains are at your finger-tips from the start.....so going back and forth from mountain to mountain is nice as each have a certain amount of "missions". Overall.....this game is "average" in almost every sense of the word....its fun if a bit frustrating and on a technical level its nice looking but very plain. i cant really recommend it....but i can't tell anyone to avoid it either....so this game goes down as a RENT-BEFORE-BUY… Expand

   Shaun White Snowboarding is not worth your time unless your desperate to waste some cash, though your better off burning it, you'll get the same level of enjoyment from it. Games controls are solid, and thats about all thats good, the story..... is non-existant, the cut scenes are excruciatingly painful to watch, the trick list is 'meh', the four mountains are well made but very plain, the game seems like they went for the realistic snowboard route, but then stopped 3/4 of the way and went for the 'ssx' route, and failed at both. The game lasts about 5 hours before i refused to continue due to utter boredom, the multiplayer is fun.... till you get sick of throwing snowballs at each other, very disapointed as this could have been a good game, but they messed it up at the gameplay aspect, especially the jumping and landing mechanics which can be summed up in one word 'CRAP' although that word could be used for the entire game. Soundtracks good though.… Expand
