Shaun White Snowboarding for the DS plays to the strengths of Nintendo's handheld, offering a control scheme that makes excellent use of the touch screen. When the game is at its best, you can get lost in the chilly rush of leaping, tricking, and grinding your way down the slopes. Unfortunately, the other aspects of the game don't always live up to the potential of the controls, but despite a few rough spots, this is still a mostly enjoyable portable snowboarding experience.
The Good:
* Excellent control scheme is immediately accessible
* Good variety of challenge goals
* Some rockin' tunes on the soundtrack .
The Bad:
* Lack of challenge makes races rather ho-hum
* Decal customization system is poorly implemented
* Takes only about four hours or so to complete
* Shortened versions of songs that repeat too often
