Shaun White Snowboarding is an all new video game produced by Ubisoft. It is supported by PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, X Box 360, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo Wii video game systems and Personal Computers. This game is rated for kids three years old and older. This is one of the video games that parents can feel comfortable allowing their kids to play unsupervised, as there is no objectionable content whatsoever. The scenes and people in the game are fairly realistic- quite realistic as video games go, and the background music is entertaining as well.
Shaun White Snowboarding offers four mountains for your snowboarding adventures Alaska, Japan, the Alps and Park City, Utah. Each mountain was designed with three tiers blended seamlessly together; the resort area where there are ramps to jump, rails to grind, the chairlift for a quick ride to the top and other people (other real people if you are playing online with your friends); under the tree line area where you can twist and turn through the trees and go wherever you want; and above the tree line area where there are rocks to dodge, cliffs to jump off of and crevices to jump over in an avalanche prone area. In the wide open mountain areas of Shaun White Snowboarding, there is no set course, you can go just anywhere you want and do just about anything you want.
As we learned during our Shaun White Snowboarding reviews and observations, this exciting new snowboarding game offers three camera views: The standard third person view that most game systems use, a contextual camera angle which offers you a better view of the dangers and obstacles ahead of you, and a first person camera view that allows you to see everything that your character would see. Another feature of the first person camera view is that you can actually record videos of your friends doing tricks or stunts and share them with other gamers on the Shaun White Snowboarding website. These videos are limited to sixty seconds long but it is still a very neat feature.
Another observation we made during our Shaun White Snowboarding review is that kids and teenagers alike simply love playing this game. It is fun and exciting to be able to snowboard on mountains all over the world and to learn tricks and practice them enough to perfect them. The interesting combinations of buttons require no small amount of hand eye coordination, but that is one thing that the game can provide to players of all ages in addition to countless hours of virtual snowboarding fun.
For those who have no idea who Shaun White is, he is a world class snowboarder who has been competing professionally since the age of fourteen. He won an Olympic Gold Medal in 2006, and has won numerous awards in the X Games competitions since age fourteen. He is now 22 years old, and kids all over the world look up to him as one of the best snowboarders around.
