The best snowboarding game yet, we reckon. More fun than actually snowboarding, and without actually having to talk to other snowboarders. The emphasis is on a fun, playable arcade game rather than accurate sim - it trades realism

for utterly improbable, if gnarly, stunts, which makes it instantly playable. You collect power-ups to get you bigger air and boost your speed, points etc, and there's unlockables too. The Wii's dual Nunchuk controller makes perfect sense, as you rotate, tilt and move them to perform intuitive aerial tricks. If you like arcade sports games, this game could totally take over your life. And it's a lot of fun to play with your mates an'all.
