The gameplay remains similar to the original Tricky but improved in several ways, such as fleshing out the trick system even further. It includes both Race and Freestyle modes as well as different challenge courses a player could try to complete.
However what really sets it apart from Tricky and gives it its own personality is the decision to make the whole game take place in a single giant mountain with several trails to shred. Ubisoft made genius use of the Wii Balance Board to create one of the most fun and immersive snowboarding experiences to date. It brings control schemes that used to belong in arcades right to the middle of your living room.
The graphics may not be as detailed as on the more powerful consoles, but they remain colorful and crisp nonetheless. Developer HB Studios released this game to strong competition from Steep, offering a more traditional and atmospheric approach to its counterpart. But the real fun begins once you start creating your own trails and, even better, ride down those created by other members of the community. Not only that, but this game also featured online multiplayer races that made the community go wild.
Beside its technical achievements, Amped 2 is all-around a very fun game with a customizable soundtrack, real-life snowboard legends such as Travis Parker to play as, and the possibility to snow-skate rather than snowboard. This changed the game completely by giving it a lot of replayability value. It came out in to compete with Infinite Air And like its counterpart, it features massive landscapes and many different ways to tackle the same tracks. However it offers players the possibility to explore them not only on a snowboard, but also by walking, gliding on a wingsuit, and even parachuting.
This game is perfect if you just want to relax and get lost in the snowy mountains, enjoying the vibrant yet realistic graphics in an intimate snowboarding session.
All from the comfort of your pajamas. It took everything that made the original SSX a good game and refined it, while also shifting the emphasis a bit towards executing gnarly tricks and integrating it into races by making you go faster each time you successfully pulled them off. It also had a lot of personality which was reflected by its characters, the tracks, and actually naming the game after a Run DMC song.
And funny enough that song made it into the game as a recurring track. The amazing soundtrack coupled with stellar voice acting brings audio and visuals to a new level especially for the time.
And the overall amazing gameplay made this game into a true classic that has people still talking about it to this day. However as of this writing it seems the game is not in the PS4 store and it would be completely up to EA to make that call.
This is an arcade-style snowboarding game where players are going through different drops and delivering a barrage of tricks as they snowboard down the mountain. Likewise, the more points you rake in the higher you could go up the mountain for better runs. Steep is a game developed under Ubisoft which is based around a variety of winter sports activities. Players will be going down a massive mountain competing in challenges and ranking up in-game currency to spend on different cosmetics or gear.
This is also an online game so players can connect and go through the mountain as a race. Meanwhile, players who want to restart from the top of a mountain edge can do so freely. Because this is an online game, one of the more interesting aspects players can take part in is the fact that they can trigger a challenge. If you enjoy your run and want others to attempt it with all the different obstacles that you went through, then you can make it a challenge for others to attempt online.
Stoked is a snowboarding game that was released for the Xbox and PC platforms back in You can think of Stoked as being a bit of a simulator. Here, players are working to gain sponsorships and some credibility for being professional snowboarders. However, to secure those sponsorship deals, players will need to go through a series of challenges down multiple mountain runs.
This is an arcade-style snowboarding game where the goal is more aimed at going through races rather than delivering a slew of tricks down the mountain. As the name suggests, this game does play on avalanches which again goes in hand with racing. Outside of normal races, players can compete in events where the player is having to outrun an avalanche.
Cool Boarders is a series worth mentioning as it had a pretty big following years ago. This is an older series with players mainly seeing the games hit the market for the original PlayStation outside of some of the spin-off games that came out. There are four mainline installments and most would look at the latter two installments as the games worth looking at for the series. If Mario Kart is the kid-friendly version of racers, this title from Racdym can be considered the equivalent for snowboarding games.
The game even plays fairly similar, tossing various hazards, ramps, items, and even coins at the player. This blocky racer offers nine colorful courses, which are traversed by various colorful characters and livened up by jaunty tunes.
The experience can be described as a blend of arcade-style racing and extreme sports stunts sprinkled in. Even if it's a bit rough around the edges, 's Snowboard Kids brings out the player's inner-child with some delightful gameplay.
Still, it's hard to deny the more refined, streamlined gameplay with this GameCube sequel. This game comes directly from the snowboarding-heavy era of the mids — and stands out despite other hits like SSX and Shaun White thriving at the time.
It emphasizes speed through time trials and thrilling bouts of fleeing from avalanches. But of course, there are still plenty of satisfying tricks to perform — despite the learning curve involved in some of the timing and balancing prompts.
It's not the strongest snowboarding entry on this list, yet Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder has its enlivening moments. It did, however, do a heck of a job of copying THPS with similar grinding and trick mechanics. Play this game if you like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater but be warned that it doesn't raise the bar.
Playing as a nameless snowboarder in Amped 3's single-player mode is one of the high points of the game. It wasn't the most magnificent snowboarding game of its generation, but it did have replay value because of its emphasis on wild tricks.
It was a laudable snowboarding title for the Xbox , but Amped 3 failed to improve on more reputable franchises like SSX. Dark Summit is not the most polished game. Players will often move through objects without colliding into them. The game certainly has its fair share of bugs , but it still remains to be a great snowboarding game worth a playthrough.
Released for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube, Dark Summit is commendable for having genuinely enjoyable gameplay that will take players on average 7 hours to complete.
It doesn't do much to surprise players, but there are few ways to criticize the ingenuity of Dark Summit. It didn't have the most advanced gameplay mechanics, but for its time, it was sublime. It's highly recommended to play this game because of its wild tricks and arduous point-to-point speed runs.
This game inspired later snowboarding games and is a classic worth playing for snowboarding fanatics. SSX Blur provides a different experience than other snowboarding games.
Using the Wii Nunchuk to control the player in combination with a Wii Mote works well in the game. Flinging the Wii Mote allows players to perform spins and tricks intuitively.
Back when Microsoft made a variety of sports games, Amped 2 was one of the leading snowboarding games. These sports games were some of the first to be Xbox Live enabled.
