Not Bad

This game had potential. Beautiful graphics, good control. However, in an effort to bring out as much realism as possible, it is extremely difficult to figure out where the trail is. Also, the MTV reject voice dude gets on your nerves.

Excellent graphics, annoying commentary!

Being a die hard snowboarding fan, I purchased this game. I was hoping that it would be more like Coolboarders. The graphics are superb though. The main problem I find is that most of the spins and flips are highly uncontrollable. Unlike Coolboarders. The standard moves are pretty neat, but they too get boring. I wish you could shut that announcer up without losing all the cool sounds of the game. Don't get me wrong, the game is a lot of fun, however, if I were to rate it based on playability, I'd have to give it less stars. Perhaps Rippin' Riders Two will have these standard control features. It's a real shame since this same company (UEP) also made Coolboarders. Why would they not add the same functionality?

Graphics: 9 Stars Sound: 5 Stars (Annoying commentary gets really old) Control: 5 Stars

Enjoy

My kids got this game and didn't like it at all. They said the tracks were hard to stay on and were hard to see, then finding the trail again was very difficult.

A hit game for the dreamcast

Rippin Riders presents a snowboarders dream.There are 5 tracks in all with 2 bonus. Each track differs greatly and each track is another adventure. The tricks range from grabs to pulling 1080 mistys or a 1800 spin off a jump. Pulling 360's and 720's might take only 20 minutes to master, but learning to pull a 2540 may take hours. To achieve all tracks is for the most part hard, but not impossible. It took me a good 2 1/2 hours to get all courses. Many of the tracks are more of an adventure and can sometimes be boring. I found cave slider to be very annoying as it took me a good hour to master the track. Other than that the tracks are for the most part fun and can last for hours of gameplay. The graphics suffer and do not live up to Dreamcast expectations. The framrate has a few minor problems but for the most part is up to par.If youre looking for a game with great gameplay pick this one up. Gameplay-9.7 Graphics-5.2 Presentation-7.0 Lasting Appeal-9

no depth to this game

This game got REAL OLD after about an hour. There is not much to the game after you've explored the one-on-one racing and the half-pipe trick course(s) a few times each.

On top of that, the soundtrack is horrible and annoying. It reminds me of a Commodore 64 game I used to have -- I think it was called "Boogin'".

Great graphics, poor control.

This game has wonderful graphics but the tricks are way too hard to accomplish. Plus, where is the racing? All you can do is race your self. The half pipe would be cool if I new the tricks.

Cool new game!

This game has cool graphics and funky tricks. In some of the courses, they need more lighting. You can hardly see where you're going. When that happens, you run into walls and get stuck and not even a jump can get you going again. It's an okay game.

Pretty good for people who love snowboarding

When I first rented the game I loved it almost as Sonic Adventure, a very good game, the only problem with it is you can't grind. Besides that, this is one of the best snow boarding games you can get. If you like pulling a Misty 900 Method in a Super Half Pipe than this is the game you will want for your dreamcast.

BOREING!!!!!!!!!!!
