If Cool Boarders 2001 brings its ?A? game to the slopes, it might stand a chance against SSX, but it sure is going to be a tough race.

While the Cool Boarders series never owned the slopes, it used to be the only solid choice for PlayStation snowboarders. But now that SSX has grabbed the spotlight, the PS2 debut of Cool Boarders 2001 faces stiff competition. On its side of the run, CB will be sporting a new physics engine; 10 pro riders such as Todd Richards, Barrett Christy, and others; and 20 tracks on one big mountain, which will mean no reloading to move to another area.

A Trickmaster mode will let you focus on busting tricks and bagging air with the help of some coaching from the game?s pros, while Challenge mode will pit you against the pros in a series of one-on-one events. The game?s other seven events will include Downhill Checkpoint, CBX, Downhill Gates, Board Park, Big Air, Half-Pipe, and the Vans Triple Crown.
