Genre and what to do:
Sports simulation game. As in every simulation game you play as a person. Here you are playing as Shaun White, who is a real person. He is famous for riding boards and winning medals in international competitions. The snowboarding game to which he has lent his name seems to take place in the real world. First of all you should create your own character at the start of the game, your actual role is little more than errand boy for Shaun White. Shaun White Snowboarding offers four huge mountains that you are free to explore however you wish; there are no time limits or preset paths to follow. Taking part in freestyle activities or trying to find the best places to perform tricks in this open world can be mildly entertaining, but there is structure when you tire of trying to make your own fun.
Style and atmosphere inside the game:
There are many kinds of sport. This game gives you the opportunity to try yourself in winter types of sport. You can play in every season of year. There are four different mountains, but they looks like each other. Unfortunately, the snowboarding is every bit as shallow as the story. The simple controls let you spin and grab your board with ease, but the experience lacks impact; it feels as if you're hovering slightly above the earth at all times instead of carving a path down a snowy mountain. A final feature is multiplayer, which does the Burnout Paradise thing. Using the d-pad you can get up to 15 people to join you on your mountain, or you can join them on theirs. After that there are a couple of multiplayer-only races at the top of each mountain the lot of you can access, though that's it. A substantial amount of time and money has clearly been spent acquiring all the tracks that make up the game's music, which is a nice mix of pop old and new, a bit of soul, dance, some classic rock and plenty of grunge that brings to mind the excellent Project Gotham Racing soundtracks.
