Toys and Games Reviews of Play TV Snowboarder
Customer Review: Your kids may not get a turn
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is amazingly addictive. It was a whole-family Christmas gift and was the hit of the season. Everybody took a turn and most of us spent many hours on it over the week. It provides a lot of fun not only for the rider, but for all others who watch and cheer along. From the 4-year-olds to the grandparents, all had a blast.
The game is pretty simple, the hard part is learning how to work the controller and pull off tricks. Its one of those things that's easy to get started, but hard to master. There are a number of courses and three characters to keep things interesting. We mostly did the half-pipe which seemed to be the most fun.
This thing is built, as they say, like a tank. You use your back foot to control turns and you lean forward/backward to control your speed. The weight rating is something like 240 or 280 -- we had a number of grown-ups that pounded on it, with one in particular that jumped on the board like a maniac. It really was impressive that it didn't just crumble to bits under the punishment. (You can imagine the enteretainment that provides.)
This is a great game for groups to gather round and have some fun. Its also a whole lot more active than your typical console or pc game. You can certainly work up a sweat playing. Get this game, get on and give it a chance. It takes a while to learn how to control the board, but you can do it, and once you do, you really get hooked.
Description of Play TV Snowboarder
Snowboarding can be an awful lot of fun. It can also be cold because of all that snow. Fortunately this indoor alternative offers a chance to snowboard in the comfort of your living room in exchange for having a traditionally snowy trip on the slopes. While it is a videogame, there is no need for a console. Simply plug the board into your television?s AV outlets and climb onboard the board. Tilt yourself around on the board to select settings for racing or tricks then take to the course on hillsides and half pipes. The level of graphics is a few notches below what you might find on a gaming console but the simplicity of this board, combined with the fact that it gets you up from the couch and actually moving your body, makes it a great value. --Charlie WilliamsToys and Games
