What TONY HAWK'S PRO SKATER did for skateboarding, SHAUN PALMER'S PRO SNOWBOARDER will do the same for snowboarding. Take your shot at building a pro legacy with the help of the legendary snowboarder Shaun Palmer. Four real-world boarding locales will challenge you to the max, and there are 16 total courses to learn and master. The object of the game is to make your way up the ladder of all-pro snowboarders, earning higher rankings as you learn new tricks. Many snowboarding games emphasize speed and racing, but SHAUN PALMER'S PRO SNOWBOARDER is mostly about the tricks. With literally dozens of awesome maneuvers to try out, the game ensures that things will never get dull. The game's graphics rival those of full-sized consoles, and there's a kicking soundtrack to keep your adrenaline pumping. If you have a craving for extreme sports, this is the perfect way to get your fix without breaking a leg in the process.

Pretty Lame GameJan 13, 2002
By TW The low-resolution, mostly 2D graphics are rather un appealing. The game opperates from a side view, 3rd-person perspective; much different from most console snowboarding games. Overall, gameplay is simple and boring; nothing exciting or interesting about it. It seems the only goal is to do tricks, which look very unimpressive, given the poor graphics. This game was a total let-down. Not recommended for those who like other snowboarding games.
Avoid.Mar 13, 2002
I do not like this game. It comes from a developer with absolutley no history and plays out to be a complete waste of time. The graphics are very bad, especially compared to the Game Boy Advance version. The controls take quite a bit of practice, and the trick catalog is serverly limited. There are only 4 freesytlye courses, where you might enjoy grinding your way down a vast assortment of rails. The games only real fun lies here, as nothing else will ever bring you back. Good for at least an hour, but you will never pick up this game again. If you need some handheld sonwboarding, try the Game boy Advance version of this, or try MTV Sports: Pure Ride Snowboarding on the Game Boy Color. Put this at the bottom of your list for BEST GAME.
