With thrills like shredding the slopes, busting off slick tricks, and dusting a friend in the great two-player mode, 1080's tremendous fun. Tight gameplay and replayability mean you won't regret a penny spent on this game.} {1080's simply gorgeous. Breathtaking snow effects, such as the fluffy spray of deep powder, combine with lifelike animations and cleverly designed courses to deliver a visual extravaganza.} {The sounds have a good day on the slopes, but they're definitely the game's weakness. While effects like the rasp of your board crossing ice heighten the experience, the lame voices and repetitive music get old.} {Not many games have controls this tight. Whether you're slicing through turns or bagging big air, 1080 superbly duplicates the experience of snowboarding. Because it's realistic, mastery requires practice, but the payoff's there.} {With thrills like shredding the slopes, busting off slick tricks, and dusting a friend in the great two-player mode, 1080's tremendous fun.

From the masterminds behind Wave Race 64 comes 1080? Snowboarding, a phenomenal game that does for snow what Wave Race did for water. If you're looking for the latest thrill, the next great N64 game is here.

1080 starts its run with six racing tracks, a halfpipe, an Olympics-style jump, five boarders, and a fine selection of rides. The racing's intense, addictive, and great fun as you battle through three tournaments to unlock tracks and other secrets. Along with the strong two-player action, a cool Tricks mode lets you rack up points by pulling off stunts like the stalefish, the shifty, and yes, the 1080-degree spin.

1080's not perfect-the sounds could be better, the controls have a signi- ficant learning curve, and doing tricks means typing out somewhat tedious combos (like in a fighting game). Still, it's the kind of great game that's worth snapping up as soon as it's out.
