This game is superior to the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in many ways:

1.Way better soundtrack. Tony Hawk didn't even have any good bands on his first game, then on his 2nd he had 3 good bands and 3 good songs, Papa Roach's "Blood Brothers", Rage Aganist the Machine's "Guerilla Radio" and Powerman 5000's "When World's Collide. Then, on his 3rd game, he had 1 good band, Alien Ant Farm, but picked their bad song, "Wish". Meanwhile, Shaun Palmer has Alien Ant Farm's "Courage" (Their best song), Powerman 5000's "Bombshell", Spineshank's "New Disease" (Which inspired me to but their CD), Papa Roach's "Dead Cell" (Their best song), and Static-X's "This is Not". Point to Shaun.

2.Easy to play. You can almost pull off a 900 just by clicking a button. And you can EASILY create a boarder.

3.He doidn't get greedy and put out 3 games!!

4.You can bonk. Bonk. Bonk. Say "bonk" with me.

5.People have really good A.I.

6.A lot more reasons I don't want to list because I'm tired of typing so now I say goodbye.

HOURS of ENJOYMENT

I LOVE this game. It only took me an hour of straight playing to really get the feel of the game and start hitting tricks. It is challenging but the first course is great and large so you have many options for stunts to rack up point. My only complaint is there are not enought GIRL characters to chose from!

This Game Rocks!

After having read through many of the reviews on here, I find that I disagree with most of them. I think this game kicks .... People should look at it as a seperate thing than Tony Hawk, even if it is similar. It takes a little time to learn the various tricks, but once you do, it isn't hard to land them. You can't even compare this to the way snowboarding is in real life, because this is just a video game! You can also make your own snowboarder, which I think it pretty cool. It's a very fun game, and I personally think it's one of the best games I've played in a long time!

BUY IT NOW!!!!

At first i thought this is just another bite off from Tony Hawk, but i found out that it is alot more better than any snowbording games around. Especially the excellent music in the game play and the game ply graphic!!! No need for consideration, this game ROCKS!!!

Here is how I rated this game:

Fun: 4 stars. I don't play the game on one player mode, but when I'm playing with a friend it's a lot of fun! There are different ways you can compete, and you can teach each other cool combos. Also, I think it's cool that you can create your own boarder. You get to choose your boarders appearence, board choices, and skills, then save him/her to play with in the game.

Educational Value: 3 stars. Although what you learn in this game won't do you much good in college, you can still read bios of real players, which I would consider to be some kind of knowledge.

Durability: 2 stars. Like all discs, it is fragile and should be taken good care of.

Overall: 4 stars.

P.S. Please don't write a review just to voice your opinion about mine. Reviews aren't meant to be used like message boards, they're meant to be used to tell others what's worth buying, and what's not.

P.S.S. And I'd say this is definately worth buying if you like a challenge, and like to strategize.

mediocre

Take the downhill courses from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, replace the skateboards with snowboards, and you've got yourself a damn fine snowboarding game, right? Wrong. Although Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder borrows heavily from Tony, it's not nearly as good. Not by a long shot. Maybe it's the way your character occasionally lands tricks that look impossible while falling inexplicably at other times. Maybe it's the way he tries to go uphill when you don't want him to. Maybe it's the developers strange fascination with grinds, which seldom occur in real snowboarding but have to be performed adnauseum to advance in the game. Or maybe it's the game's obscene difficulty level Greg and i had to tag team the game for hours to reach the third level. Shaun Palmers does have a few things going for it. The control scheme , level objectives and stat building process have been lifted straight from Tony Hawk Pro Skater, meaning fans of the series will instantly feel at home. You're also free to choose your own path down each run, instead of being restricted to a narrowly defined course, as you are in many snowboarding games. Shaun Palmer's also has a truckload of cleverly hidden secret items, sure to keep you busy for hours. Still, there are way too many better snowboarding games available for Playstation 2, most notably SSX tricky or Cool Boarders 2001, for me to want to spend too much time with this one.
