Around the world in snowboard.

 

Since a long time ago, the developers of games are trying to make an excellent snowboarding game. Its now the time of BigAir to try to conquer the snowboarders.This one was created by the same developers of Test-Drive 5, Pitbull Syndicate.

Like all the other snowboarding games, you have to memorise a lot of combo to make some special tricks. But what makes BigAir different of the other snowboarding games is the number of tracks on wich you can compete against the other champions. A total of 24 tracks in 6 diffrent country like France, Japan, Switzerland, Scotland, Germany and the United-States. You can choose to play in different mode like training, racing, tricks, half-pipe,big air of course and the boardercross. So with Big Air you have alot of options. There range fron a normal jumps to special combo of crazy tricks.

Also, you will see all the major companies brand to choose from your snowboard to your accessories to equip yourself as a snowboarding champion.

BigAir

"Head, over feet."

BigAir

"Extend!"

You will see such names as K2, WestBeach, Ride and much more.Like most of the snowboarding games, the graphics are not very good. All that because when you increase the speed of the frames, the details are put a side. There is also sometimes when you do the combo to make a 360° for example and you will not much. But a few second later when you try to make it again, you will see, a beautyfull 360°. The problem is the timing. In Big Air the timing is to much precise.

Concerning the music, the game is very complete on this side. You will hear some punk bands like Blink 182 and others of that style. These songs actually put you in the snowboard mood. The movie shot and pictures are really good too. The biggest positive point of the game is the variety that can keep you playing hours and hours.

BigAir does not bring anything that deferent then the others except a lot of options.Buying a game like BigAir is a good choice for snowboarding fans.
