Snowboard Kids (N64)

If Nintendo could have made "Mario Board", it would have been very similar to this. With powerups galore peppering the track, playable levels, and cutesy characters you can see the similarities. But there are also some interesting differences. The coin system used to buy powerups and upgrade your boards is a neat way of combining prizes for winning races, collecting coins littered about the courses, and coaxing you into pulling off outrageous special stunts. There are also various game modes to keep you entertained from just straight racing, including a stunt mode, time trial, and a 'shooting range', where you hurtle ...  Read the complete review

When I saw this game in my local games shop I wasn't impressed by its outward appearance, however the price was right and they didn't have anything else appealing so I bought it and was pleasantly surprised. The basic premise behind the game is that you race on your snowboard through 8 different courses at first(bonus courses awarded when these are completed) doing tricks along the way to win money in order to buy more boards.

Or should that be try not to shout at the kids. This is a very fun game, the controls are a little confusing, but easy to get used to. The graphics are cute and the sound matches. To play as a one player this is quite a fun game, with more cources becoming unlocked as you win enough races, new boards to buy and a secret charctor to be found. It is in four player mode that this game shines, the tension that you will build up as the weapons start to fly and the tricks start getting silly will be amazing. This game is a great laugh for groups and as a one player, but it is not a snowboarding game, it is definatly a racer. If it's a serious snowboarding ...  Read the complete review
