Thanks to the ESPN moniker, Winter X Games: Snow Boarding will feature recognizable Winter X broadcast overlays, in-depth rider statistics and event analysis taken directly from the ESPN research department, and authentic X games camera angles. By combining all of these elements, Konami is trying to succeed in making the game as realistic as they can. They want you to feel like you are watching the Winter X games on your TV and not playing a video game. This authenticity will prove invaluable when you compare Konami’s title to that of EA Sports SSX.
Continuing the trend
of being authentic, Winter X Games: Snow Boarding will be the only
game on the block to be able to boast having the best 15 real pro
boarders for you to enjoy your thrilling ride down the slopes with. It
will also be the only game in which you can compete in real X game
events, use actual snow boarding gear, and have the ability to try
your hand at creating a custom rider to go for the gold with! This
will assure that if you are a true X games fan that this title will be
a must buy for you.

The gameplay is expected to offer up 3 different modes: X Games, Free Ride, and Create-a-Rider. In X Games mode you compete as one of the 15 real life pro boarders in a quest for gold medals. The 4 events within X Games mode are: Super Pipe, Slope Style, Big Air, and Boarder X. Each event is different and should be enjoyable enough to keep you entertained on those cold winter days ahead. Within the free rider mode, you are allowed to survey the 6x6-mile Mountain of endless terrain ranging from steeps to cruisers! You have all the freedom you could want, go anywhere and do anything in this mode, but most of all look good while your doing it!

Finally, to make this title sound even better (pun intended :-), Konami went out and snagged an awesome soundtrack for the game. Including tracks from Primer 55, Goldfinger, and Long Beach Dub All-Stars, the soundtrack looks like it will keep the tunes pumping while you surf your way to the gold!
With heavy
competition from EA Sports SSX Snowboarding, Konami has its work cut
out for it to deliver an authentic X Games title while provide some
excellent visuals. If Konami can pull it off, Winter X Games: Snow
Boarding should one a site to behold unto!
