Shaun White Snowboarding

The Shaun White Snowboarding takes snowboarding to the open mountains, where there are few fences or restrictions. The descent begins from the top, and then you decide where to go: along a prepared track, through the forest, along the roofs of the resort, or straight along the slope away from the ski lift. This freedom is the main advantage of the game, not the graphics or the number of tricks. Respect is responsible for progress: completing tasks, winning competitions and finding new routes - you unlock equipment, better equipment and access to new areas. The resorts are represented in different parts of the world, from parks with ski jumps to snow-capped wild ridges, and each has its own terrain features. In addition to single slopes, there is online where you can ride the slopes with other players. Joint races turn into an impromptu park: someone is looking for a line for a trick, someone is checking whether they can drive along the railings at the hotel, and all this without a schedule or judges. Controlling the board takes some getting used to: the rider's weight is felt when turning, and landing after a big jump depends on body position and speed. Weather and terrain change the behavior of the slope, which is why the same line is driven completely differently in different conditions. Due to this, the descent turns into a search for your own style, and not into memorizing a combination of buttons. A nice detail is the presence of Shaun White himself, whose name is in the title: he meets on the slopes and throws up problems. The game does not require skill from a beginner, but can captivate for a long time those who like to search for their own lines.
