Editorial Review

If 13-year-old Shaun White can ride with the big guys in the professional snowboarding circuit, then certainly you can master a snowboarding game simulation. Right? For the first time in the Cool Boarder series, PlayStation owners can challenge the likes of Mr. White and 15 other pro riders who have been digitally re-created for the game.

Add eight new tricks (such as hand plants in the half pipe) and a complete build-a-rider mode (which allows you to create your own snowy superstar), and you've pretty much summed up the major differences between Cool Boarders 3 and Cool Boarders 4. One of the coolest new effects in the game is that riders now sink into deep powder instead of skating right over it. A signature of the series is the ability to throw punches at other riders during races, but players can choose to turn that feature off for a cleaner challenge.

Players who were gaga over Cool Boarders 3 will be pleased with the enhancements in this game. But with gameplay that is essentially the same as its predecessor, gamers looking for a unique thrill may wish to carve a turn and look elsewhere. --Jeff Young

Pros:

• 16 real pro snowboarders, 30 new courses, and nine board manufacturers add to realism
• Customized athletic ability, clothing, and board

Cons:

• Fourth incarnation of game not exactly fresh

Great game for 1 or 2 players. Make your own players and boards. New 2 player slope style is what cool boarders 3 fans were waiting for. Lots of fun from the start. Keeps fun value with challenge of beating records, learning harder tricks, and opening up new tracks.

This review is from: Cool Boarders 4 (Video Game)

I am a big fan of snowboarding games. I've played practically every snowboarding game out there and by far this is one of the best one's yet. At the first, the game doesn't seem so great, but once when you become experienced the game grows on you. It starts to become more and more addicting. This game is packed full of cool tricks and courses. I don't understand why anybody would give this game a bad rating?

I owned Coolboarders 3, so when I heard about 4, I ran out and bought it right away. I was not dissappointed! The tricks and boards are rad and I liked the addition of the real boarders. The coolest thing about this game is racing the avalanche. I have had this game for about three months and still have not beat it. It drives me crazy, but I keep trying!
