1080°: Avalanche

This product is also called 1080° Silver Storm in Japan.

Background

1080°: Avalanche brings its unique tradition of authentic 3-D snowboarding action to NINTENDO GAMECUBE. Game play satisfaction snowballs as players master snowboarding physics and an all-new trick system. Favorite boarders, such as the well-balanced Kensuke, the technical master Rob or the incredibly fast Dion, charge jumps, grab huge air and complete twisted combos. Watch out though, a potentially impressive stunt could lead to a board-breaking disaster.

Gameplay

Race through realistic natural environments complete with powder drifts, ice patches and groomed hardpack…but don't get comfortable. You'll have to contend with massive avalanches, rockslides, cave-ins, bridge collapses and environments teeming with wildlife and other skiers.

Not only that, but you must master a unique character balancing system and a catalogue of crazy tricks as you experience the rush of big mountain racing. Your slalom skills had better be tuned, because you'll be going head-to-head with CPU-controlled masters or up to three human opponents
