Hot Games
All 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 they’re enhanced by gorgeous snow-parks and powder-packed resorts.

Considering the remarkably silly subject matter, Palmer’s does an excellent job of providing some seriously enjoyable gaming.
Read Full Review >Game Informer
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]
Adrenaline Vault
One of the most intuitive and entertaining of the realistic snowboarding titles available today.

If 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.
Read Full Review >GamePro
Clothing rippling in the wind is just one of the smooth graphic touches, and the aggressive punk/hardcore soundtrack matches Palmer’s bad-boy persona—but the sound effects aren’t terribly impressive.
Read Full Review >GameShark
The 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.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
A solid and enjoyable snowboarding game that successfully brings Tony Hawk to the mountain.

Once you slide past something you need, you can’t back up – that sucks. [Jan 2002, p.220]
Gaming Age
Fans will have to wait for a sequel to see more freedom and variety in gameplay.
Read Full Review >PSX Nation
No, this game doesn’t suck, but it has so little new that you can’t help shake the feeling that it’s old hat and maybe a bit played out.
Read Full Review >Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
It's too scattered and feels poorly designed. [Jan 2002, p.134]
Cloudchaser
Shaun 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.
Read Full Review >Game Revolution
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.
Read Full Review >All Game Guide
Where "Tony Hawk 3" is fast, flowing, and intuitive, Shaun Palmer is slow, disjointed and difficult to get into.
Read Full Review >IGN
For 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.
Read Full Review >GamePen
I hate Shaun Palmer’s Pro Snowboarder, I curse the day it was conceived and I wish a horrible holiday season upon all of those who were involved in it’s production.

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

As a answer to one of the critics: "Electronic Gaming Monthly- Once you slide past something you need, you can't back up : that sucks." How do you back up on a mountain??!!!??? Stupid! I love the game!!!
