Being a fan of Tony Hawk, I decided to take the plunge into the snow this time after hearing all about how great SSX Tricky was... and wow... this game blew me away.

This is literally an "open world" game where the mountain is your playground. You'd never expect a snowboarding game of all things to deal with exploration and progression, but here it is.

An utterly fantastic extreme sports game. I hovered between a 4.5 or 5 star rating, but I have to go with my gut here - it is just a perfect snowboarding game.

EA Sports (in this case EA Sports BIG), a laughingstock nowadays, used to release banger after banger back in the day...
