Next we choose the colour of our board and we are ready to ride! Snowboard Park Tycoon for the first sight looks like every other race, but fortunatelly the game creators tried to do something more. In order to discover new routes we must pass particular tasks. Every new passage demands definite number of correctly fulfilled missions. It is the biggest attraction of this game. Except traditional racing we can collect coins; another task is gaining a lot of points for our tricks, throwing a snowballs to a particular targets (not people), a slalom among flags, jumps over the fire rings.... next we have, for example, imitating the tricks made by Yeti, following the route of the computer player or breaking of your bones. Bones breaking?? (it sounds very interesting:D)- in this mode your task is to break as much bones as possible while making very dangerous acrobatics. Graphic is also doing well and we can be satisfied. Characters were made of quite proper number of polygons, trees look a little bit poor, and the whole rest is rather OK. I think it's a pity that they haven't used some ingenious light effects or textures in the high resolution. But the grading is really noticeable. And it is quite climatic. It looks similar in case of sounds. The snowboard utters many different sounds, depending on the surface, very interesting thing is the sound of broken bones. But music in the background may be turned down, because it isn't very good. We can choose something what sounds like techno or the second one (I don't even know how to define it- maybe a slight kitsch). I recommend this game warmly!! |








Next snowboard proposition is the Snowboard Park Tycoon. Game produced by the Activision company. This game isn't, as the name says, an economic game- it's just an arcade where except riding on snowboard we can create our own routes. In this game we have at our disposal five quite expanded tracks on which you can ride in freestyle or in the career mode. Next we choose our snowboarder- it may be a man or a woman, or after entering the password- Yeti.
