This is the best game in the Coolboarders game series. This status is due largely to its easy to learn play control and fun modes. The five modes are Competition, Freestyle, Big Air, Halfpipe, and Board Park. The competition mode is a series of 9 sets, starting with a big air round. The best big air tricks combined score wins the 1st place starting position in the next race. 2nd highest gets second, and so on. In freestyle, there are 3 courses to start with. Once competition has been won, all 10 courses can be accessed. Big air is simply a trick mode. Halfpipe is the same, only in a halfpipe with a time limit and multiple tricks. Board park is just a leisure mode win which you can ride all over the park doing tricks (to beach boys melodies!! lol)to bring up the "cool" meter. the games modes and boarders are rated here:

Yaggi: Good beginners player, good for tricks, but NOT good on the ice fang. 8/10

Jin: Nothing but boarder cross. If you are good at boarder cross (freestyle), use this guy in competitions. If not, use Irin. 6/10

Irin: Good for beginners, has no true weaknesses except speed. 8/10

Cindy: Advanced. Can do anything except the Titan's Toe big air. 7/10

Boss: The best. No weaknesses, but cant be used in competition. He is earned after beating the competition on mirror mode. 10/10

Gray: best trickster in the game. unavailable in comp. He is earned after a 38.5 or better on the halfpipe. 10/10

Snowman: really fast, but terrible. Earned after all the preset freestyle records have been broken. Not available in halfpipe or competition. 4/10

COURSES:

White resort: Easy and fun. 8/10

Sunset Downhill: cool, and all about speed. 9/10

Bear in the Forest: Too many trees to have fun. 6/10

Railroad Trip: One of the best. Kinda basic and not at the same time. 9/10

Take it Easy: Like the name says: Too easy. 5/10

Pipeline Canyon: Long, and ok. 8/10

Freezing Point: very advanced, my personal fave. 10/10

Winding River. its ok, but not that great. 7/10

Snow Ruins: The 2nd hardest, and its really cool. 10/10

Dive Into the Cave: Lots of fun, hardest and 3rd best course in the game. 9/10

Stadium Kicker: A basic big air, but not enough height for good tricks. 6/10

Ice Fang: The best big air. There is plenty of air time. 10/10

Titan's Toe: Advanced big air, and its ok. 8/10.

All in all, this is a great game and i would recommend it to anyone. The game is also suitable for anyone. Even if you are not a sports fan, this is a game you will love.

this is right up there with gex, crash bandicoot and intelligence qube as one of my all favorite time games. sure the graphics might be dated by todays standards but the gameplay is timeless. recommended for anyone who used to play it back in the day and forgot about it.

Though this adds more to it..I found Cool Boarders one to be smoother and simpler to control. I'm selling this one and buying an older version!

This game is great if you don't have anything better to do. Cool Boarders is really to easy in my opinion. Also after a while the tracks get boring and they start to seem alike which can be confusing. But it's still a cool game, like being able to pick what the person's wearing and being able to create your own snowboard. Also their is a whole lot of tricks,cheat codes, and boards to pick from.

This game is a simply unbelieveable ride, with 10 courses, and lots of extras. You start out with only 4 boarders, but by completing tasks, you can earn others, like Boss. The championship mode is great, using all nine courses with lots of competition to almost melt the snow! Then, there is a mirror mode, and a hard mode, both equally great. The freestyle mode allows you to practice the courses and break records in time, trick, and total points. The starting records aren't very hard to beat, but it is fun to beat your own records. Then, there are two modes of Big Air. One mode is a regular trick mode, where you go off one of three ramps and pull the sickest move you possibly can. The other is a trick master mode, where you have to do the trick that appears on screen. Then there is a halfpipe, for pulling off MORE sick tricks for an official score, like the pros. Then, there is a board park, for pulling off even MORE sick tricks off giant ramps, barrels, and even CARS! The board creator is mostly useless, but so what? It's still a good diversion! What I also like is the hardcore soundtrack, chock full of alternative rock songs to bang your head to...or you would if you weren't playing the game. The only con is that the game is not as graphically rich as it could have been, but so what? Graphics don't always matter. Buy this, buy this, buy this, you will not regret it!!

This is a cool game if you like snowboarding and racing. There is only one problem and that is that this game is exremely easy to beat and after you beat it, it gets boring. If your looking for a long term game, i suggest renting it first.

This game is good for a rainy day.It can be fun for another day , also.I think that people really into snowboarding , like me , would like this game.

This game is great forever. I played again and again and again. Really. You can't be tired of this game. Trust me. This game have a lot of course, character, boards, tricks, cheat codes.
