5.0 out of 5 stars A genuinely enjoyable little game!, September 12, 2003

I've never purchased any of the Disney Sports titles before in any form. All I know is that they have all been almost universally ripped to shreds by critics whenever I tried searching for online reviews on them, although I did find a glowing report for DISNEY SPORTS BASKETBALL.

This particular title is one that I have yet to see in any of my local stores. And I've found genuinely mixed reviews for it. Some hated it, one adored it and another said that if you could get by certain graphical issues then there was fun to be had. Finally my curiosity got the best of me. I took the plunge and ordered it through amazon.com and hoped I wasn't frittering away my cash.

I'm happy to report that DISNEY SPORTS SNOWBOARDING is a genuinely enjoyable little game, very challenging and exciting, graphically beautiful (the graphics do look a tad blocky, but that's no big deal) and fun to play.

Now I'm not in a position to tell you how well it matches up to any other snowboarding titles out there. I've never played any. Heck, I haven't even had the opportunity to play any on any consoles since I'm not a sports buff. For me, it was the Disney name that lured me to this one. So I'm afraid I'm unable to say how well it plays when compared to such-and-such. All I can tell you is that it's a fun little game.

The graphics do a great job of rendering a 3D environment considering that they're done on a GBA, and the resulting look, feel and gameplay in "race" mode as you zoom through all the various stylized environments will remind you of such go-cart games as the excellent CRASH TEAM RACING, complete with being able to use weapons and spells with your magic board to defeat and/or knock out your opponent. It's proving itself to be quite the delicious little timewaster, and I'm pleased with it. Out of all the backgrounds, I especially love the "Starlight Express" race track, it looks gorgeous.

Oh yeah, and I want to assure the author of the other comment about the game who obviously hasn't played this one yet: yes, it *does* allow you to play Chip & Dale.

Disney Sports Snowboarding features the best of the best Disney characters! I'd personally prefer the dynamic duo "Chip N Dale"! Hit the slopes with Disney on your GBA AND GBA-SP!
