VGC Review: Shaun White Snowboarding

VGC writes: "Snowboarding has always been a genre that translated well to videogames. It is therefore quite surprising to see the first snowboard game for the HD consoles arriving three years after the release of the 360 (two years after the PS3 first saw the light). As a big snowboarding fan, both in real life and in games, I couldn't wait to get my hands on Shaun White Snowboarding. The game is based on, surprise surprise, Olympic gold medal winner Shaun White who is only present briefly at the start of the game and as the inevitable "endboss", so if you expected to be speeding the mountains as "The Flying Tomato" you'll be disappointed. You start off in Park City, where the master himself offers you to snowboard all around the world to collect coins. Yes, you heard that correctly: your main task is to collect coins. And that's one of the two major flaws in this game, but I'll come back to that later."
