1080° Avalanche

Click here to download the 1080° Avalanche trailer and see for yourself what this game is all about!

Danger is the name of the game in 1080° Avalanche. Huge air, massive drop-offs, deep powder and the nastiest tricks come together in one of tightest snowboarding games available. 1080° Avalanche is a worthy successor to the Nintendo 64 version of the game, with a wide variety of play modes, challenges and secrets to keep you on your toes (or heels, if you're turning the other way).

Features * Constantly changing environments make every run an adrenaline-packed thrill ride. Contend with massive avalanches, rockslides, cave-ins, bridge collapses and environments teeming with wildlife and skiers. * A sick trick system lets you flip, spin, grab, grind and tweak your way to glory. * Game modes include Match Race, Gate Challenge, Time Trial, Multiplayer and Trick Attack. * Race against your friends in intense four-player races. Connect up to four Nintendo GameCubes in LAN mode for the ultimate race!

1080° Avalanche is teeming with challenges. In Match Race mode, your goal is to beat an opponent to the bottom of the mountain in a variety of difficulty levels. Stick tricks on the way down to increase your rider's speed and power. There are multiple routes to find on each run, so be sure to scour the landscape for grindable trees and hidden shortcuts.

One of the best things about 1080° Avalanche is the element of surprise. Huge drop-offs can easily catch you off-guard, and if you don't land just right you're toast. Rockslides, natural wildlife, dizzying drops, and sudden weather changes keep things interesting, but nothing compares to the incredible avalanche sequences which will definitely get your heart racing.

Bottom Line

1080° Avalanche is an awesome snowboarding game. The runs are designed perfectly, and there is a wide variety of tasks to complete before you unlock everything in the game. It's been over five years since the last 1080° became the first-ever 3D snowboarding game, and 1080° Avalanche proves that it's been worth the wait!

The first 3-D snowboarding racing game, the original 1080°’ Snowboarding, created the genre with amazing visuals and spot-on controls. Crystal Lake, Golden Forest, Deadly Fall and other slopes offered everything a boarder could want, from cool tricks to a perfect speed rush. It's wintertime again and the snow's never looked so good! Akari Hayami and Ricky Winterborn have rounded up an all new cast of characters to head back to the slopes for some high-speed competition.

Features

Race through realistic natural environments, complete with powder drifts, ice patches and groomed hardpack ... but don't get comfortable. You will have to contend with massive avalanches, rockslides, cave-ins, bridge collapses and environments teeming with wildlife and other skiers.

Experience the unique character-balancing system, which allows you to keep the on-screen character on his or her board. Take advantage of a deep trick system, which lets you flip, spin, grab, grind and tweak your way to glory.

Master a big catalogue of crazy tricks as you experience the speed rush of big mountain racing. Slalom skills better be tuned as you go head-to-head with CPU-controlled masters or other players.
