1080 Snowboarding

Get the game at Amazon.com!

Reviewed by Jeremiah David Mendoza Salonga Have you ever wanted to crush your friend into the ice or snow but there are no mountains or it does not snow in your area? Well, 1080 Snowboarding is the game to buy. This game is as real as it gets and is the best snowboarding game out.

Graphics A

The graphics for this game are most likely to be the best. The game is very realistic. It is as if you were snowboarding in a real mountain, except for Dragon Cave, which you can jump off of and do so many tricks. You get to pick real boards from the "Lamar" company. And most of all, the characters you are able to pick from are so lifelike.

Music and Sound A+

I give this game an A+ because the music has different kinds of music, for those of you who like rap, when you are picking your character, it has that kind of music. When you are snowboarding in some levels, there is some alternative and some techno music. So this game is very good with the music. The Sound is a different story, the players are able to talk to you when picking them. when you slide on the ice, it makes the sound you would hear in real life, when you fall, the player also makes a reaction to the fall. They will usually say something. So basically, the sound is outstanding.

Game Challenge A

I give this game a "A" because the challenge is good, it is just that there are not that many courses to choose from. But the challenge is fair. The computer that you challenge actually races as if you were racing, but sometimes they might slip up by hitting the walls, but will catch up with you. You can get 3 extra characters with this game. The Metal boarder, the Crystal boarder, and the Panda boarder, but in order to get these 3 boarders, you must defeat them in a race on the last course of the game which is "Deadly Fall". You must also win against all of the regular players.

Game Play-Fun A+

The fun factor of this game is practically perfect. Once you beat the game and get all of the characters, you could test them out in the "Time Attack" mode or the "Trick Attack" mode. Those are just some of the modes you can pick from. There is also the "Contest" mode which you can rack up points by doing tricks. So there are a lot of modes that will keep you occupied from getting bored with this game.

Rumble Pak A+

The Rumble Pak will shake on basically everything you do on the game, from falling, to almost tripping. There is not much to say about this part of the game.

Frustration

Yes, I had some frustrations with the game. The computer will suddenly fall and you will think that you won, but if you mess up, you are suddenly behind the computer. That is only one frustration I had. It takes too dang long to get to the last stage, so you have to really be into the game or else you will be bored. The last frustration I had was when I lost, you only have 3 lives, or should I say chances to win through like 7 courses. Now you have to be pretty darn good to do that.

Replayability A-

I have to give this game an A- because you don't really get to see the replay on all of your courses. When you are on Time Attack, you will be able to do that. After you finish the course, it shows a little replay of what you did in that stage but in different views and camera angles. I think it is average for this feature of the game.

Game Value A+

I give the game a perfect A+ because I got the game for $40.00. Now I think that is a pretty darn good price for what the game's genre is about.

Features of the game A+

There are many features to keep you busy on the game 24-7. First, there is the Match Race feature. This feature allows you to race against the computer one-on-one down the hills. But you must pick a difficulty level before playing the game. You have to earn some of the courses. You only get 4 courses in the beginning because like I said, you have to earn the other courses. The next feature is the Time Attack. This mode allows you to see how fast you are on each o the courses you have. Tell your friends to try and beat your times. By the way, before you even do the level picking in the Time Attack mode, you must pick 1 of the 5 characters or boarders. You will eventually have 8 boarders when you get the codes and beat all of the game. You must also pick a board. It does not matter what the status is on the board, it depends on which board goes on your character. I just tested them out to see what goes best with the characters. The next feature is the Trick Attack. The trick attack allows you to pick any course, including the half pipe and the air-make to do tricks on. You are trying to rack up points in order to beat the computers score and put in you're initials so you can show off to your friends. The next feature is the Contest mode. This mode allows you to go through all of the courses to see what tricks you can on them. You are also racking up points and using the skill you used in the Trick Attack mode to get a high score. The next feature is the Training mode. This mode allows you to learn the tricks you can do in the game. So you can be good at the Trick Attack and the Contest modes. This is all of the features except for the 2p. Vs. Mode which allows you and another player to just go at it and race your way down the courses.

Overall A

Overall, this game is just the best in it's category. It has the best graphics I have seen and it has the best sound and music I have seen. I love the features it has and the way the characters talk to you. So, I leave you with this quote: "Don't make friends, for if you desire to have a relationship with them and you end up breaking up, it is your choice to be friends or not, otherwise, be careful."
