1080 Snowboarding N64 Review by Scott McCall (2212 words)
Like Wave Race 64 before it, 1080° Snowboarding is revolutionary in the sense that its gameplay is enhanced thanks to its graphics.
Ever since I heard 1080° Snowboarding only had one-on-one racing, even in the one-player mode, I was leery as to whether or not I would like it.
Although it seems obvious, 1080° Snowboarding really is to snow as Wave Race 64 is to water.
1080 Snowboarding Game Review (707 words)
That is, unlike a lot of snowboarding games, in which the angular prowess of each jump is decided simply by the length of time you've held down a button, in this game, you need to master a fairly intricate combo to pull off the big payback 1080-degree spins.
Since the game features a damage meter that can pull you out of a race after one too many falls, 1080 Snowboarding's varying terrain, coupled with the skill required to land after the more grandiose moves, requires a higher degree of finesse than most of the competition.
Unlike a lot of snowboarding games, whose half pipe modes are their only real thrill, the 1080's downhill races and time trials are great.
