Company Line / Game Summary

1080°: White Storm brings its unique tradition of authentic 3-D snowboarding action to NINTENDO GAMECUBE. Game play satisfaction snowballs as players master snowboarding physics and an all-new trick system. Favorite boarders, such as the well-balanced Kensuke, the technical master Rob or the incredibly fast Dion, charge jumps, grab huge air and complete twisted combos. Watch out though, a potentially impressive stunt could lead to a board-breaking disaster.

My Take

This is the sequel to the greatest snowboard game from the last generation of consoles. The developer of the game has still not been revealed, but with the name of White Storm I can make a guess. Since NST made Wave Race: Blue Storm I predict that they are behind 1080: White Storm. The snowboarding genre is full with many great games. For this game to stand out from the rest, its going to have to be innovative. I guess we will find out in fall of 2003!

Anticipation: 9/10
