Game Informer-Shaun White Snowboarding write up

Well I just got the new GI and thumbed through to find a preview of SWSB and it was encouraging to read. Just the photo shots alone are impressive. But I think what will make this game unique to the other titles is being able to WALK AROUND off the board to explore or redo a line. I'm really excited how interactive the features are. They noted the controls are nice (like Skate) but feel a bit clunky when it comes to jibbing. They say they played while in development stage but hope to see them tightened a bit more. Also noted there will be a learning curve(yay no skills out of the box) They also say 4 mountains may not seem much, but just walk around and you will change your mind. I for 1 hope the controls feel right when its done too but I have to say what really has my attention how loaded with content and features there are. To me this is akin to be a mini-MMO that is not just riding a snowboard. Stoked is going to be very different, a bit more technical riding for sponsors and then competing for them but won't be as interactive as SWSB will be. As long as the controls flow this game will be the shizz nitt! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/11.gif
