I wouldn't describe myself as a gamer, but i do have a xbxo 360, i picked it up for a bargain price but haven't used it for a month or so. Seems like this game might be what is needed to bring it out the cupboard.

Looks like a non dissapointing version of the shaun white game, its not skiing, but its a start

With the backing of absinthe films etc. i think it maybe has potential?

(wasnt sure which forum to put this in, thought it was ski related so shoved it in here!feel free to move however), and thanks for mike_hunt10 for originaly pointing it out in another thread!

i dont think video game makers have really got the hang of snowboard/ski physics yet. that stuff looks like amped 2 with (questionably) better graphics. but itll prob be cool to have a free roaming big mountain freestyle game.

Shaun White looks sick. I wish you could get off your board to go up stairs and stuff in skate. Its so frustrating sometimes.

I'm sorry but that game looks TERRIBLE... comparable to that skiing flop "Freakout" that came out last year.

wow that looked exactly like  every other snowboard game ever made. i dunno but the box in the middle of the big mountain run looked looked kinda gay and i don't think i saw a single park shot in the tralier.

i think this game would be worth it if the graphics were polished up a little bit and it had more to offer than straight up big mountain with random features thrown in. if you could like, start at the top of a mountain and ride back down toward the bottom where they have parks and open runs and stuff like a real big resort or something i thing it would be dope as hell.

well it certainly looks better and from what I read sounds like the best thing yet since Amped 2. I don't know why everyone is expecting so much more than this.
