PALGN: Shaun White Snowboarding Review

PALGN writes: "In recent years we have seen a glut of sporting titles which step away from traditional ball sports, instead delving into the realm of the so-called action sports such as skateboarding, motocross and snowboarding. With many of these titles, the biggest issue has been whether to create an arcade flavoured title - with an emphasis on big air and outrageous tricks, or go down the simulation path in an attempt to capture the essence of these past times. Ubisoft has tried to craft a more realistic, open-world experience with Shaun White Snowboarding but sadly it falls short of being amongst the great snowboarding titles such as the Amped series due to overly an simplistic control scheme and platformer styled game mechanics which ultimately take away from the experience."
