3.0 out of 5 stars Transworld Snowboarding, November 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Transworld Snow Boarding (Video Game)

Graphically this game by far surpasses any other snowboarding game on the XBox. I have every snowboarding game except for Dark Summit and this rates second on my list. This game does not have quality AI like Amped does. You can grind things, but that's it, just a regular board slide. You cannot perform any variation of a nosepress or a tailpress. It's difficult to get the high scores because you have to perform combos that are difficult. The controls are different from other snowboarding games and they take a while to get used to. I agree with one of the earlier comments about this game. It's a little unrealistic when it comes to crashing. You have to take a 50 foot drop and land on your back in order to crash. I bought this game looking for backcountry riding, but there are only two levels on the entire game with backcountry. There is too much slopestyle and racing, however, the SLC Ghetto level is awesome! If you want slopestyle, go with ESPN X Games snowboarding and if you want backcountry and realistic runs, go with Amped. I would recommend this game to someone who likes snowboarding more than the average Joe. Overall this game is fun, but not quite the caliber of Amped.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad. Not great., March 1, 2003

More arcade than Amped, but still a simulation.

Great music, and can change music tracks on the fly.

There are plenty of obstacles to maneuver and rails to grind.

Lot of explorations, with secret areas.

Blood spatters when you wipe out on powder, but you can hit a ski lift post no problem.

Impressive graphics.

There are occasional technical glitches, such as clipping and some framerate issues.

The controls are a little different than other games. You use the left thumb-stick to rotate and turn, while the right is used to make different board grabs. This is an good setup for the easier moves, but can get a bit tricky when performing the advanced.

I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of Snowboarding games, until I played the demo to Transworld Snowboarding! Then I bought it, and I was convinced, when you learn this game, you'll be hooked. Jib and grind just like the pros. Perfect your misty flips and switch backside 180's in freestyle, pipe and boarder rally events - or float through deep, untouched powder in the backcountry. Trick and huck off all kinds of kickers, tables, cliffs, icy chutes, even downed trees! All contained in 17 true-to-life locations around the world!
