two thumbs up for shaun white

I was a huge fan of Cool Boarders on the PSX back in the day. Crazy flips, mind-bending speeds, unlockable schoolgirl outfits… good times. Thus it is no surprise that I am loving Shaun White Snowboarding on the 360! The mountain environments look really amazing in HD and the controls are quite logical and very tightly designed for a fun and structured game with a lot of open-endedness. I love the ability to explore all over the mountains and I am really enjoying the purchasable boards, jackets, gloves and other customization options. Being able to throw snowballs for points is fun too. Shaun White looks hideous but then again it's not that far off from real life (ooh, burn!). If you enjoy snowboarding or just being able to pull off death-defying tricks from the comfort of your couch, check this one out.
