Shaun White Snowboarding Video/Written Review


Just got this today! Here’s my review:

Graphics: Shaun White has great graphics. The tricks look great, the animation are good, and the character looks realistic. 9/10

 

Story: You play as Shaun White’s new trainee. You have to do missions and find collectables for him. The story isn’t interesting, but its not really a story game. 8/10

 

Sound: Music works good with the game, sound effects are good, and voice acting is funny. 9/10

 

Gameplay: In Shaun White you are doing 1 of 3 things: events, shaun white missions, and free roam. Events are where you try to get the best possible score by doing tricks or racing or snowball fights or something like that. Shaun White missions kinda slow down the pace of the game, which isn’t good for an action packed snowboarding experience. You have to find these hidden coins that are scattered throughout the mountain. Getting to them can be frustrating, and its disappointing that to continue in the game you have to find these. Free roam is basically you do whatever you want on the mountain, like crazy jumps and tricks, or escaping avalanches. This game isn’t repetitive at all. There are tons of different events, tons of coins to find, tons of mountains to explore, and more. This all sounds exciting, but the main part is collecting coins, which is slow, boring, and frustrating. Still, the game is still fun with everything else. 8/10

 

Multiplayer: Online events and free roam.

 

Overall: Shaun White is fun. It has its slow moments, but there are so many fast paced action parts that keep the game from being boring. I got this for 10 bucks, and its definitely worth it, but I would definitely pay more for such an awesome game. Check it out! 

8.5/10
