Amazon.com Product Description:
Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip for Nintendo Wii introduces a whole new way of playing snowboarding games. Developed by Ubisoft, Shaun White Snowboarding was developed from the ground up to take advantage of the Wii Balance Board, giving you an experience that is more intuitive, realistic, and fun.
 Land your favorite tricks in combination for the ultimate score. View larger. |
 You can ride on mountains all over the world, including in Japan. View larger. |
The Wii Balance Board is an accessory from Nintendo that works and is shaped like an elongated scale, with sensors that can tell how much and where pressure is applied when you stand on it. This works perfectly with Shaun White Snowboarding, as it can detect whether you are leaning forward, back, left, or right, and it reacts like a real snowboard would.
 The Wii Balance Board gives you an unprecedented, realistic experience. View larger. |
If you would rather forego the Balance Board, you can play with just the Wii Remote as well.
Beautiful Graphics with Unique Camera System
Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip features a unique camera system, where you can choose different cameramen and camerawomen to follow you around. Some are better for tricks and others for speed, so be sure to pick the right one, as they'll give you abilities during your ride.
As the cameraperson follows you on your ride, you'll notice different effects, such as image blurs around the edges of the screen to give a sense of speed. The camera will collect snow when you fall, and sometimes the camera will white out after completing a big jump, as the cameraperson has to follow you and do the same moves as well. This unique system adds another element of strategy and fun to the game.
Tour the World with Shaun White
Road Trip begins with you as a newcomer to the snowboarding scene. Shaun White serves as your mentor, and together you travel the world, tackling mountains and making friends as you work your way up to becoming the world's best snowboarder.
As you win competitions and meet new people, they'll show you new tricks and special abilities that will help you against the competition. You'll have to learn different snowboarding skills as you compete in races down a mountain, half-pipe events, slaloms, rail jams, and more. You can also take a breather and just free ride in the back country at your own pace.
Play With or Against Your Friends
Road Trip doesn't have online multiplayer options, but you can play both competitively and cooperatively with a friend on a split screen. In competitive mode, you and a friend can race to the bottom or try to out-trick each other for the highest score. In cooperative mode, both of you ride down the same slope, and the scores are added together. The entire game can be played cooperatively, so you and a friend can tour the world together and unlock new extras.

- Cool tricks for snowboarding on the Wii balance board (yet fun and safe)I bought the Target version at Target for Shaun White Snowboarding. So far, so good. I like that I can use the Wii Balance Board (with a remote), but more tricks can be done with the remote alone. As with all the other current games using the balance board, only one balance board may be used between 2 players, so head-to-head competition are not fair then. This game is multi-player, but I've only played in 2 player mode so far. There are basically 2 types of competition: fastest time and most ... Read More

- Best Balance Board Game Yet!This game is sick! I can't imagine a better use of the balance board. Balance board is a must. The graphics, control, and lower body workout all combine to make this game a winner!
I'd recommend it to anyone!

- A disappointment. Extremely bland gameShaun White Snowboarding Road Trip overall is a letdown. Snowboarding games for the most part have been very successful and really fun to play, however this game lacks any real depth and gets extremely repetitive after a couple hours. The game has "Shaun White" in the title which is deceiving because you are not able to play as Shaun White until the very end of the game. (In the Target limited edition you can play as Shaun White a lot earlier but only briefly.) So for the entire game you are forced ... Read More

- Awesome GameI honestly think I played this game for 9 hours on Saturday. So much fun. Had some friends playing with me and we just took turns trying to complete the challenges. I woke up the next day with very sore hamstrings (and I am pretty active) so I would suggest stretching out if you are going to be playing for awhile. As you get the hang of learning the tricks (for instance after you jump and while you are in the air put pressure on one toe and the opposite heal to pull off some crazy tricks to gain big ...

- crazy fungreat game and great fun....just got it last night, but got into it right away and the learning curve is super gentle. the only downfall is the riders, so far, are all regular foot and i am goofy. not a big deal though, i still stand goofy foot on the fit board though the rider is still riding regular...it works fine. so far, crazy fun.
cheers
