THE GOOD:The graphics vastly overshadow all snowboarding game prior to its release. Which is why it became such an instant hit with everyone.
The gameplay is great, there wasnt alot you could do on, for example, Cool Boarders, trick and race wise. But on this you get both, and then some. There are many tricks personaly to each snowboarder that you must gain to obtain new outfits. The tricks look great, but getting them going and getting them to stop may need some practice. Hense they involved a tutorial in the game, they think of everything at EA Sports.
The riders themeselves have alot of character. They range in fashion and style of racing. Some are better at tricks, others at racing, and if your lucky, there are a couple who are good at both. You win races to get points and improve your stats and get new boards and tracks to race or freestyle in.
Getting these medals gets harder but can be done, you need quite good reflexes...
