Synopsis

Synopsis
Your feet are locked onto the board, your heart thudding in this seemingly interminable instant before you begin your descent. With a single, decisive lunge, you're off and sailing with insane velocity down the snow-slick side of a mountain. The wind burns your face with its icy blast as you pick up speed. You exert precise control, your concentration intent as you guide the board and launch yourself upward. Your body twists in the open air, flying freely in defiance of gravity, every cell screaming with excitement at the thrill of living life to the extreme.

Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip immerses you in the fast-paced sport of snowboarding in true Shaun White style. Experience every twist and leap as you control your rider with the technology of your Wii Balance Board. Embark on an awesome world tour in which you'll get to savor a variety of boarding styles, from half-pipe competitions to races down mountains, and connect with the Olympic Gold Medalist himself, who serves as a friend and mentor. Dare to perform your best tricks in exciting events that include Slopestyles, Big Airs and Half Pipes, and demonstrate that you have what it takes to dominate like the renowned Shaun White.

Posted by: from Cairo, NY on 01/12/2010From the time we took it out Christmas morning, my whole family and neigbors played for hours. Its challenging (more so for me). My kids picked it up quicker than I did but I'm not a huge gamer. I still struggle with beating the levels, in fact I think I've only beat one to date. The music is good but wish I could figure out how to make it louder. I highly recommend this game. It's a great way to spend time with your family.

Cool game

Posted by: from PA on 04/21/2009I have never gone snowboarding before so when I bought this game I was not sure what to expect. I played the game and found a fun and completely interactive game that utilized the balance board which, so far, I had only used for Wii Fit. When I started playing I found the controls somewhat difficult to understand and also found the balance board to be troublesome, but I was able to adapt quickly. Once I had a handle on the game I had tons of fun not only playing but also through the various other aspects of the game, which include: the soundtrack, I personally thought it was awesome; the emails, your character periodically receives funny “emails” about in game events; and the balance board, I was glad that it was finally used for something else besides Wii Fit. Overall the game is great and, although the controls are a little hard to master, it is well worth it when you can pull off awesome tricks on the balance board.

One of the best games for wii
5
Posted by: from Sacramento, CA on 02/21/2009Shaun White Snowboarding is one of the best games for Wii. The motion controls are great and even more fun (although more difficult) with the balance board. The graphics are good and the art direction is fantastic. The music is varied and from some big name bands. The voice work is good, especially Shaun White's comments if you fail a goal with him as your rider. The multiplayer is awesome! Coop, splitscreen, and hotseat modes keep the game varied. You can help friends learn the game in hotseat mode and then switch to splitscreen for a head to head match (up to 4 players) or coop for more unlockables. The hotseat mode is especially fun if you're using the balance board as only one can be connected per console. The only two downsides are a lack of being able to improve the stats of the riders. You do unlock new riders at each country with different abilities, and once you unlock Shaun White, his stats are sufficient for any run. The other feature that would have been cool would be an online multiplayer. Maybe the next version will have those, as I'm sure this will be a long-running franchise on Wii.

Posted by: from Corona, CA on 01/27/2009If you're married with kids, like me,...your life is over. Remeber the good old days riding the fresh pow!!, Well, this game sort of brings back memories. Lift tickets are $50 bucks, ouch. This game is cool, cuz the balance board sort of mimics a real board, I guess.

Posted by: from Freeport, IL on 01/19/2009My friends and I were disappointed that it took only 3 days (about 2 hrs each day) to get through the entire thing.

Posted by: from Fort Collins, CO on 01/19/2009I hafta say....I'ts one fun game...just wished in 2 player mode my roommate could have hooked his Wii balance board up, but NO games allow 2 Wii balance boards compatibility since the Wii itself can have only ONE wii balance board SYNCED to it at a time! one small glitch nintendo needs to fix...graphics could be realistic like other games...but now my feet have wiiitis from all the fun!

Game rocks!!

Posted by: from Quartz Hill, Ca. on 01/07/2009I love this game, it rocks! I am a mom new to gaming, got this for myself to start doing something besides sitting on the couch. I find myself playing this game first thing in the morning and the evening when kids are busy. I have so much fun that by the time I am done playing my leggs are sore. So far I haven't gotten bored with this at all. If you are like me, buy this game and have some fun!!
