Shaun White Snowboarding - PSP

We can't all have a proper winter. Some of us are relegated to drab, grey skies and endless drizzle. In such conditions, the only way to slide down slopes at high speeds is to get down on your belly in the mud. Or... get Shaun White Snowboarding! It's not quite the real thing, but it's as close as you're going to get without buying a plane ticket and you can carry it around...

The game is spread across four huge (seriously, huge) mountains, with literally miles of terrain to get to grips with. Taking a leaf out of skate's book, the controls for riding and tricks are largely centred around the analog sticks, providing a more lifelike experience than the likes of the SSX series. The entirety of the terrain and tricks will be open to you from the start – you just need to be good enough to pull them off.

As you cruise around the hill, you'll encounter different challenges to get stuck into, ranging from Precision Riding (slalom) to Air Time, which counts the number of seconds you spend up in the air during your run.

For the rider who likes to pour over gear, there's tonnes of customisation available (with a startling amount of Burton gear!).

It's not getting any whiter over here, so get involved! more
