With the Tony Hawk franchise raking in the big bucks for the folks at Activision, everybody was getting in on the extreme sports by releasing a whole bunch of different games trying to ape off the success of the Hawk-man himself.
Activision themselves joined in with their short-lived 02 label consisting of a lot of these type of games that really vary in quality.
Matt Hoffman's Pro BMX on PS1 was average but I'm sorry to say that Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder is most definitely at the bottom end of the scale.
It's just a miserably unenjoyable snowboarding game with just too many annoyances to make it any fun such as the poor level design, the lack of tricks to pull off and one of the biggest annoyances of the game - being pushed onwards by an invisible wall.
Yep, unlike both Tony and Matt where you could easily go back if you missed something you can't do that in this game.
Missed out on that one photographer or that Donner logo you needed for one of the tasks? Well it fucking sucks to be you dipshit, go back and restart the level because we hate you.
It just really builds up and just makes the game that much more unenjoyable and hell if I'm going to see if it gets any better or worse at this rate.
Is Shaun's game Tony Hawk on a snowboard? No, it's just a shitty soulless cash grab that deserves to be hidden away in the bargain bins where no one will see it.
