Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage Review

Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage

Since we get a lot of younger readers, we thought it would make sense to write about Shaun White’s new game. So the first thing you should note is that this game is aimed squarely at kids. Everything from the simple arcade gameplay to the exaggerated graphics to the Saturday Morning cartoon humor is very kid friendly. That’s not a bad thing — it works well as a kids’ game. Just know that this isn’t the realistic snowboard sim that a seasoned gamer might want. For example, you don’t even have to jump onto rails in World Stage — if you come close to a rail your rider will automatically hop on. But, no one says you can’t have a good time playing it. I can imagine a lot of situations where this could make for an interesting evening. Watch the video below and read the full review here.
