About the Game

Shaun White Snowboarding gives players, as the title suggests, a snowboard and sends him off to four ski run locations around the world (Europe, Alaska, Japan and a fictitious location called Park City) under the watchful eye of professional snowboarder Shaun White himself as well as other professionals, moderators, pilots and such. But before players can go on the slope, he has to create his character by choosing not only from different body looks but also from different clothes and snowboards. During the course of the game, players earn money by completing the challenges, which can in return be invested in more stylized clothes and additional types of snowboards.

Gameplay & Core Systems

The game puts players in an open world with them free to roam around the slope as they please. By doing tricks, with controls using mainly the analog sticks similar to Skate , players earn respect points. Others include the Death Race, in which players need to get to the goal before everyone else but as the name suggests, everything is allowed including ramming opponents and throwing snowballs to get them off-balance. There are also some challenges like King of the Hill that can only be done with at least one other human player joining in. The multiplayer mode is basically an extension of the single player experience.

Standout Features

• While in a race speed is an important factor, a board with a higher rating in rotation allows for better stunts.
• Several lifts and even a helicopter bring them to different starting locations but if they wans, they can also walk and discover hidden areas by doing so.
• Everything that is available in single player, can also be done with other players online or over LAN.
• The other players are also just dropped into the open world with the freedom to just do what they want on the server.
