Product Description
Platform: Xbox 360
Enter a snowboarding world of total freedom. You can create your own experience in this game, and choose when, where, how, and with whom you want to ride. Developed in close collaboration with Olympic Gold Medalist Shaun White - the most successful snowboarder in the history of the sport - Shaun White Snowboarding is the next-gen game that redefines the action sports genre.
- Open World Mountains. Choose how you ride in open-world mountains across the world: conquer the extreme peak conditions, create your own paths in the back country, or compete with fellow riders in the terrain parks.
- Your Friends Always Around. Play in a world where your friends are always around. Do your own runs on mountains populated by real gamers, or join your friends for a quick session from anywhere in the mountains.
- More than Just Snowboarding. Have fun with your friends on and off the board: throw snowballs, hike to access secret spots, film your friends doing crazy tricks. You can also upload your videos online to share with the world.
- Ride Your Way. Express yourself through tricks, riding styles, and highly customisable avatars - both in single-player and in the online world. Use the intuitive dual analog control to pull off a huge variety of tricks that express your style.
- Next-Gen Technology. Built on the Assassin's Creed engine, this game creates a massive world with gorgeous visuals and realistic NPC interaction. This is also the first time a snowboarding game is completely driven by physics instead of animation.
- Authentic Snowboarding. Ubisoft has worked closely with Shaun White to infuse the gaming experience with authenticity, personality, and humour. Shaun is a friend and mentor in the game, and will help you with your skills. And if you are deemed worthy, you may even be able to play him in the game...

Platform for Display:Xbox 360
Fun:
Having never played a snow boarding game on the xbox 360, I was eagerly awaiting the release of this game. This was fuelled by sharp visuals and exciting footage.
My hopes were dashed for a quick buy when trade press gave it a decidedly luke warm reception. Having been out a few months now I have been able to gauge the reaction of gamers. Overall the reaction has been more positive than the reviews. So therefore I decided to rent it for 7 days.
It's a good game that could have been a great game. It's nice that the 4 mountains you have to play are unlocked straight away, but there are only 4. I found myself after about an hour saying, well this is nice, but is this it? The graphics are top notch and I like the fact you can take a FPS chairlift ride, but was dissapointed that all you see of the helicopter ride is the take off and landing.
The controls are okay but slightly awkward. The sense of speed is there on occasion but do not expect the same sense of speed than in Pure
I would recommend SWSB for a good hire, but to buy I think I will wait for the inevitable sequel.

Fun:
Been playing this over the weekend and have to say I'm pleasantly surprised - I'm a big fan of Amped and this really surpasses that game in terms of playability. Graphics are superb and it is easier to get into than its forebear. Lots of variety and on-line works very well. Haven't played the Wii version but this is supposed to be more of a challenge - a better game. This is a title people will begin to truly appreciate only after a few hours of play.

Fun:
Im both a avid gamer and skier. I spent a while living in banff, canada and this game takes me back there in virtual form. Trust me the reviewers are wrong when it comes to this game. If you have ever been anywhere near a ski slope you will fall in love with the openess and realism of this game. If you already have it pres Y 4 times in a row and you will will be treated with the most fantastic 1st person experience any game has ever bestowed on mankind.
Pro's
Perfect backcountry
sexy slopes
realistic tricking system
endless exploration
Stunning graphics
Lots of licenced gear (wear the stuff you wear in real life)
Good online intergration (rip it up with your friends)
Cons
Tough to master. (A knoledge of snow will bypass this issue.)
No story line
