Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder - PlayStation 2

Bought this for my kids
They played it for a while and then moved on to other games. They liked it while they had it - I thought it, like most video games was a waste of money. But the kids enjoyed it until they won consistently. Then they donated it to a local thrift shop.

mediocre
Take the downhill courses from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, replace the skateboards with snowboards, and you've got yourself a damn fine snowboarding game, right? Wrong. Although Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder borrows heavily from Tony, it's not nearly as good. Not by a long shot. Maybe it's the way your character occasionally lands tricks that look impossible while falling inexplicably at other times. Maybe it's the way he tries to go uphill when you don't want him to. Maybe it's the developers strange fascination with grinds, which seldom occur in real snowboarding but have to be performed adnauseum to advance in the game. Or maybe it's the game's obscene difficulty level Greg and i had to tag team the game for hours to reach the third level. Shaun Palmers does have a few things going for it. The control scheme , level objectives and stat building process have been lifted straight from Tony Hawk Pro Skater, meaning fans of the series will instantly feel at home. You're also free to choose your own path down each run, instead of being restricted to a narrowly defined course, as you are in many snowboarding games. Shaun Palmer's also has a truckload of cleverly hidden secret items, sure to keep you busy for hours. Still, there are way too many better snowboarding games available for Playstation 2, most notably SSX tricky or Cool Boarders 2001, for me to want to spend too much time with this one.

I rented this game and enjoyed playing it. So i bought it. The levels are very big and have a lot of things to do in them. Which is different than all of the other snowboarding games. It was a to hard though. I couldnt even get pasted the 2nd level. The music is by far the best out of every other video game!! I ended up taking the game back just because it was so hard. The buttons are also way to easy. It is practically impossible to do a backflip while just snowboarding along. Which you can do in this game. I am a snowboarder and this game is way to unreal! I would recomend renting this game before buying it!!

Unrealistic
I have played the demo to this game on Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 and it looks too easy. In real life it if impossible to do a backflip off the ground just by jumping, but it's possible in this game. The graphics look good just the gameplay needs worked on.
