The 2nd snowboarding game to launch with the PS2 and it is a much different take on it than SSX. With a more sim approach to it there is less flash and more precision, in a way that is a struggle to enjoy. Being able to create a character and dress them up with real brands was cool and the "lounge" where you do jobs for money looked awesome. There are a few different modes but a majority of content is in the career. Something that stood out to me were the replays, the angles and look of it felt very of the time for snowboarding videos. Maybe playing this after SSX was a bad idea as the controls felt super stiff never felt gratifying even with basic tricks. Ice screws you over but the maps are decent. They are all based on the real tracks used during the Winter X-Games at the time.
