• I played this game at the guy's offices in Graz, Austria a few weeks ago with Nico & Brusti themselves - the visuals are incredible: geographically the attention to detail is phenomenal (even if the developers have had some artistic license with runs etc), the realism of the players is impressive and the music is great too.

  They've also added details like a helicopter pilot at each location who drops nuggets of local information before the game, and has the exact right accent for the location - i.e. Swiss, Austrian, or, strangely, upper class British for the new Himalayas location.

  All the kit is updated for the new season too - you can choose Wolle Nyvelt's signature Billabong kit, or Romain's YES snowboard for example - and the attention to detail is phenomenal. Best of all, the guys behind the game are snowboarders themselves who love everything about our 'sport' (dare I call it that!) and their passion really comes across in the game. It's super addictive and we were there for hours... Biased? Maybe, but all this comes from someone who usually hates computer games.

  Highly recommended and look out for the guys "freedom is" videos online soon...
