These are the 10 best snowboarding games of all time. Updated March 31st, by Stephen LaGioia: Snowboarding games allow players to enjoy the exhilaration of taking to the slopes without regard for warm weather or social distancing.
They enable gamers to take on the role of a professional snowboarder or extreme sports diehard, capable of coasting down mountains and pulling off ollies with ease. It's these qualities that keep these fun, fast-paced experiences so appealing and popular.
With these things in mind, it seemed appropriate to dive back into this list and flesh it out with more memorable snowboarding romps. When it comes to epic, fast-paced snowboarding romps, it's typically not sidescrolling mobile games that come to mind. Yet, studio Snowman defies conventions and puts a charming, stylish twist on the genre with this simple-yet-fun runner from The game is as much a basic platformer as it is an exhilarating extreme sports romp.
Players will guide a snowboarder as they coast, leap, and glide through cell-shaded areas and atmospheric backdrops. Despite its passive nature, Alto's Adventure excels with accessible mechanics and a fluid sense of movement. Snowboarding games have spanned different styles, from arcade-style simplicity to nuanced sim-like gameplay.
This release by HB Studios definitely leans on the latter, with its detailed mechanics and in-depth locales. A variety of moves and challenges, as well as customizable options, round out this vast snowboarding game. Its sleek, vibrant visuals keep the player immersed, as does some smooth, detailed animation.
Though it may not capture all of the magic of some old classics like SSX, it certainly outshines them presentation-wise. 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. Snowboarding games haven't held my interest since Steep Slope Sliders on the Saturn I was never a big Cool Boarders fan , but SSX succeeded in bringing me back for more, even when I was doing poorly some advice: Don't start the game playing with Mac.
Courses are long and varied enough that it doesn't feel like you're whizzing past the same scenery over and over. The sense of speed is intense helped along by the excellent soundtrack , and aside from an occasional drop in framerate, the game runs "sweeter than candy," as Elise would say. This is one PSa game that plays as good as It looks-A rarity in what I've played of the launch lineup. SSX is about the most creative snowboarding game I've played.
The flashy environments, shortcuts and insanely long tracks keep the adrenaline flowing. But most importantly, it really looks and feels like you're snowboarding. Like how the snow trails behind your board change shape depending on your angle. Sure it may seem like no big deal, but the game is packed with small touches like that. I also like the freedom of the tracks--each has multiple routes, including many rewarding and challenging shortcuts.
So essentially it's golden, except for one thing. All the graphical bells and whistles drag the speed slightly. Even so, SSX is a must-buy launch game. Browse games Game Portals. Install Game.
Extreme Air looks great, but its character model and animations are the real highlights. Your boarder looks cool in motion, and even does some celebratory hand gestures when he has a good run. Only occasionally does he disappear into the snow, or get stuck in some kind of graphic glitch feedback loop.
This is unfortunate, but is--again--rare. This game looks better than many Verizon V Cast games, but it doesn't come at exorbitant V Cast prices.
No music during the game? We so wanted to hear Staind while shredding sky! Like its lackluster gameplay, Extreme Air's sound doesn't match the game's generally excellent visuals. There's some MIDI-based menu music, but the game itself plays out in absolute silence. Meanwhile, players are also working to unlock more professional snowboarders to use in the game. One of the more interesting aspects of this entry is the feature to create a custom snowboarder.
Included in this option is not only crafting up a person but also customizing their snowboard with even finer tweaks such as stability or speed. Microsoft attempted to get a snowboarding series off the ground on the original Xbox console platform with Amped. There were only three installments to this series with the third being released for the Xbox However, the more popular of the three installments was Amped 2, a game that came out in Throughout the game, players had to complete a series of levels that had their different challenges to complete.
These would include areas like specific tricks, ranking up points, to even finding hidden snowmen within the mountain where you would level up the character. Progressing your character was pretty important too if you enjoyed the online gameplay experience at the time. With Amped 2 players were not only leveling up their in-game offline character but they would see these skills leveled up in the online counterpart.
Amped 3 just came out as a bit mediocre and who knows what could have been if the series was given another chance, perhaps things could have turned around but for now, the series has been dormant since This is a game that got started on smartphone platforms. Players with iOS, Kindle Fire, and Android devices were playing this game well before there was a release on modern console platforms.
