The controls have great responses and natural movements which demand sharp reaction times though you usually have plenty of maneuvering room on the slopes throughout the fast-paced gameplay. Once you’re comfortable with the basic movements, then you can easily use A and B button combinations to soar to new heights. Obstacle collisions don’t slow you down too much and it’s very easy to jump on rails for grinds. You can even plow through treetops pretty easily on big jumps. When you hit those big obstacles you slow down, but don’t have to restart, which holds the gameplay interruptions to a minimum. You still experience a high excitement level with low frustration as developers retain the danger level with realistic wipeouts and altered visuals at high speeds.
The clean graphics contains layers of great texture work and Visuals change at fast speeds. Most load times are very minimal and the content shows a positive sense of humor suitable for all genders and ages. The music soundtrack includes songs from Audioslave, MGMT, Living Colour, Incubus, Heart, Kasabian, Modest Mouse, Three Days Grace, Blue Öyster Cult and Bob Dylan – just press the 1 button to advance songs.
This very accessible title has easy controls, amazing visuals, realistic movements and awesome multiplayer modes (no online capabilities, create a player or Mii character use yet…maybe in the next version). The Target limited edition version features another setting and an earlier appearance of Mr. White, but for a shorter period of time. This game has all the high speed, tricked out entertainment you could want and is right up there with Boom Blox as one of the best, most entertaining games this year.
Shaun White Snowboarding Road Trip is rated E10+ (Everyone 10 and older) by the ESRB for comic mischief and lyrics.
