    Where this game excels, though, is the fast, fluid gameplay and the tight controls, which thankfully weren't changed, and which are enhanced by the analog controller.

    I could go on and on about how "CB 2001" acts and walks radical, but fails to deliver the satisfying appeal of an 'extreme' sports game.

    A decent game. Although the music isn't any great shakes, and the graphics, while good, could stand to see some improvement. The gameplay is very good.

    The ugly graphics that simply can't compare to what thy eyes have seen on the PlayStation2. Seriously, after playing SSX on the PlayStation's big brother, it hurts even to look at this game.

    The PlayStation One era seemed to signal an influx of extreme sports titles, and snowboarding games in particular. At the time Cool BoardersThe PlayStation One era seemed to signal an influx of extreme sports titles, and snowboarding games in particular. At the time Cool Boarders certainly provided fast paced gameplay and utilised the newly introduced analogue sticks to provide more precise controls. Of course it has since been surpassed both graphically and gameplay wise by more recent efforts such as the SSX series and so is not really worth bothering with nowadays.… Full Review »
