Critic Reviews

80 GamePro
If you are starving for some snow shredding action, jump on it, but if you are looking for some cutting edge carves, hold off for "SSX."
70 CNET Gamecenter
Where this game excels, though, is the fast, fluid gameplay and the tight controls, which thankfully weren't changed, and which are enhanced by the analog controller.
69 PSX Nation
I could go on and on about how "CB 2001" acts and walks radical, but fails to deliver the satisfying appeal of an 'extreme' sports game.
62 Da Gameboyz
A decent game. Although the music isn't any great shakes, and the graphics, while good, could stand to see some improvement. The gameplay is very good.
60 Happy Puppy
The ugly graphics that simply can't compare to what thy eyes have seen on the PlayStation2. Seriously, after playing SSX on the PlayStation's big brother, it hurts even to look at this game.
50 Daily Radar
From the moment this underwhelming title stumbles into action, gamers will be hard-pressed not to notice its painful mediocrity --CB2001 makes the annual SCEA father-son hackeysack tournament look like a paragon of x-tremity.
42 Game Revolution
Another mediocre game and, at times, a pain. However, it does have some cool moments and will easily consume a couple of free hours.
40 Maxim Online
Blocky backgrounds and mushy controls make this about as tasty as a mouthful of yellow snow.
40 IGN
Hast no discnerable identity of itsh own. Vich gives it roughly a snowball's chance unt hell of surviving zist holiday season. Zus ze subject must accordingly be pronounched dead ont arrival
37 GameSpot
The free flowing nature of the sport is stifled, and it all comes off as if the developers have never strapped a board to their feet and headed down the mountain, let alone hung out with a crew of real riders to find out where they're coming from.
