    Anybody else getting this? Its about time a decent snow game was done for this generation.
    Heres a vid of the multiplayer http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41959.html
    Apparently you can get 16 people on the one mountain which sounds like ALOT of fun

    Graphics look pretty nice. Gameplay looks more towards the realistic side of things, i much prefer SSX type, arcadey snow boarding games, much more fun imo. Will try this anyway if there's a demo or if it's for rent.

    It's based on the Assassins Creed engine! weird :)

    It actually leans more toward the ssx style of snow games than a realisitc simulator.

    Cool, if that's the case then i'm looking forward to it! Hope there's a demo at some stage.

    Did anybody get this?

    I'm tempted cos i love snowboarding games, but the reviews are mixed to say the least.

    Picked it up from play.com when it was €25. Just waiting on it to arrive. I loved Amped 3 so hope I enjoy this just as much.

    I've played a bit on it. I think it's a touch better than Amped3 was with a few less of the Kitty challenge things or whatever they were and a bit less of the general daftness. The multiplayer seems to only let you join sessions with people on your friends list though rather than random other punters on Live. Could just be that I was being thick and selecting the wrong options so far though but I've only played it the once so far.

    Cheers, what does the boarder handle like and how are the controls?

    Jesus, I must be tired.

    i read the title as Snow White Snowboarding and had images of 7 dwarfs 'hanging-ten' or whatever it is snowboarders do. :/

    I bought this last friday, I took it back yesterday and exchanged it for Banjo & Kazooie. I wanted to like it but it was just too erratic. The controls are all wrong and it's too hit and miss whether you land cleanly or not. Sometimes i'd be upside down almost but still land on my feet, other times i'd be perfectly level when landing but still fall flat on my arse. It's well annoying getting stuck on things too. Amped 3 is actually better and i thought that was pooh!

    Here's hoping "Stoked" makes a better job of it, whenever that's out.....
