Advantages: graphics , gameplay, wide track variety

Disadvantages: can be difficult

The PSOne version of this game is completely different. That game terrible, this one is very good. I think it would've been smarter to rename this game in some way, either by calling it CB 2002, CB 2001 special edition, etc...

graphics
very good, smooth, and detailed. all-around good visuals. the frame-rate is very nice, this game looks appropriate, and not overdone. not a whole lot to say in this catagory, besides "good graphics" and "great frame rate".

sound
good music, and the riders all have their little comments to throw out there, such as: "ow, my butt!", and the like. i thought the music was a little on the quiet side, but it is still a very good job. the various effects sound nice to, and match their onscreen action very well.

gameplay
it can be hard to pull off a fast variety of tricks, but you can do the basic ones with the greatest of easy. this is a very good playing game, the best snowboarding game since old 1080 back on the N64. In fact, this game reminds me of that a great deal. the controls are "easy to learn, yet hard to master". This game is what snowboarding games should aspire to be like, I have played all I know of, with the exception of ESPN's game. The gameplay is flatout sweet. there's also different modes of play, and you can actually fight with other riders and shove(yes shove, not just bump into) them into trees and what-not as you race down the slope.

buy?
yes. i'm a snowbaorder and i highly recommend this game. so it is coming from someone who can really criticise this kind of game for what it is. DO NOT buy the PSOne version, that game is just plain lame.
