    Combine full-on racing with a track design that should have "Wipeout's" makers hurrying back to the drawing board and then chuck in "Tony Hawk's" stupendously addictive tricks and you have PS2's finest moment to date.

    Beautiful graphics, huge courses, great multiplayer and infinite replayability round out the package to make this hands-down the best game on the PS2.

    There is an unimaginable amount of depth underneath its flashy exterior.

    The music soundtrack is dead on, with fast and funky tunes delivering the adrenaline rush you so badly need to make you feel like a badass.

    With excellent graphics, great level design and fast, furious action, this is sitting firmly at the top of the PS2 mountain.

    An excellent techno break beat soundtrack featuring the likes of Mix Master Mike and Rahzel puts the ice on a very tasty snow cake. The only thing that really lets this game down is a lack of game modes.

    The gameplay isn’t perhaps as tight as Nintendo’s ageing "1080º Snowboarding," but it’s an original take on the sport and deserves all the praise it has received.

    Its great fun, not as realistic as "ESPN Winter X" but a great game nonetheless.

    One of my first PS2 games I had, not an easy game but hours of fun. Graphics were good for its time and loved the banter between the snowboarders.

    Took snowboarding games like 1080 and added a little crack to it to create this crazy game.
