X Games Pro Boarder captures the snowboarding experience like no other PlayStation game before. Sure, it has some things in common with the Cool Boarders series, but with features like real music, great graphics, intuitive control, plus tons of events and tracks, it has a lot more to offer.

You can choose to ride as any one of eight of the best snowboarders in the world including: five-time world champion Terje Jaakonsen, Tina Basich, Peter Line Todd Richards, Olympic medallist Shannon Dunn, Daniel Franck, Morgan Lafonte, and Jamie Lynn.

The music in the game is exceptionally good, with bands that ESPN has licensed for various other X Games products. Pro Boarders has real music from bands like the Foo Fighters, Lunatic Calm, NOFX, Rancid, and more. There are 12 tracks in all ranging from punk to techno. The sound effects are also pretty good. The real music really gives the game a sophisticated realistic edge that Cool Boarders never had.

Overall, X Games Pro Boarder is the best snowboarding game out for the PlayStation. The game is fun and easy to play for beginners, and it has enough depth to it to keep hard-core boarders experimenting with trick combinations for a long time.
