SS4Cloud's Full Review: Snowboard Kids for Nintendo 64
I bought this game for more of a variety in my video game library and also because really it's not that bad of a game. It does get boring after a little while though. When you first play you will notice it's not meant to be one of those real life snow board games like the Olimpic ones. This game took a more cartoony approach, which is what makes it a fun game to play.
Story
Belive it or not this game has a story behind it. That story is the one about the kids who eat dream and whatever snowboarding, but since it isn't that important I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it. It makes sense an adds to the game though. Pulls it all together.
Gameplay
The gameplay of this game is really nice. The controls are smooth and easy to use. The tricks are executable easily if you have that little bit of timing and skill which may take a while to develop. Playing for players is really fun because of the constant items being used on everyone that can make others mad. It's a riot at parties.Playing one player isn't that bad because there are a few hidden boards and a hidden character to help make it more exciting and giving a purpose to playing it. Also with the wide variety of items to use on the levels it's always new.
Difficulty
The is game starts out easy but gets hard. By the time you reach the levels in the end (the last 3-4) the computer players act with so much skill (and the fact they now the course) that the only way to win is by using the items. Also it helps if you use the secret short-cuts and special boards. The one player games aer also fun but not too hard. I try to beat my own goals instead of theirs (although most of the time I'm past theirs).
Sound
With the limited sound capabilities of the N64 this game does a nice job. It has somewhat crisp and clear but sometime it fades or has a little static or goes wavy. But usually it's not terrible.
Graphics
The graphics of the game are great! There are no rough shapes, and the characters are smooth along with the courses. It's all brightly decorated and it all has smooth animation. Great graphics.
WARNING
WARNING:I thought it would be a good Idea to mention this. This game takes up an average of 116+ pages on your memory card. Beware.
Overall
Overall this game isn't that great and I'd get it only if you've played it before and want to enhance your video game library.
