Having been brainstorming ideas since , Cash is quick to assure us that, despite the next game returning to the slopes and maintaining the focus on point-chasing and extreme sports, it's much more than just a re-skin of the previous title.
While Alto's Adventure originally released as a paid download on iOS, it was later ported to Android devices for free, a move which caused some controversy despite the reasons behind it, such as the differences between Apple and Android framework, and the higher rate of piracy on the latter. Although Snowman are still figuring out those details, the 20 million-plus downloads on Android speak for themselves. The Journey inspiration is clear to see. Market models aside, Snowman have learned a lot from Alto's Adventure that they can bring to the table with the sequel — although following success with success is never easy.
The easier things are more on the back-end side. We had to build a goal recognition system, figure out saving and cloud synchronization, and do all the technical things in the first game. We'll definitely be able to reuse a bunch of that, leaving more room for exploration on the creative fronts.
Does that extra experience mean we might see the Alto series on home consoles one day? We can only hope. Recent releases such as Olli Olli have certainly proved there's a market for simple, effective sports games on PS4 and Xbox One, but Cash is reluctant to go into any details, only confirming that while the focus is on making Alto's Odyssey as good as it can be right now, they do have a lot of ideas.
Snowman is a company that wants to be at the centre of artful experiences. We're definitely focused on games at the moment, but we're really interested in any medium that blends art and technology together. The tiny atmospheric details are amazing. For instance, even if someone isn't interested in playing a game that we're making, we really hope that they can enjoy looking at it — whether it's one of our trailers, or even just a screenshot.
It includes both Race and Freestyle modes as well as different challenge courses a player could try to complete. However what really sets it apart from Tricky and gives it its own personality is the decision to make the whole game take place in a single giant mountain with several trails to shred. Ubisoft made genius use of the Wii Balance Board to create one of the most fun and immersive snowboarding experiences to date. It brings control schemes that used to belong in arcades right to the middle of your living room.
The graphics may not be as detailed as on the more powerful consoles, but they remain colorful and crisp nonetheless.
Developer HB Studios released this game to strong competition from Steep, offering a more traditional and atmospheric approach to its counterpart.
But the real fun begins once you start creating your own trails and, even better, ride down those created by other members of the community. Not only that, but this game also featured online multiplayer races that made the community go wild.
Beside its technical achievements, Amped 2 is all-around a very fun game with a customizable soundtrack, real-life snowboard legends such as Travis Parker to play as, and the possibility to snow-skate rather than snowboard.
This changed the game completely by giving it a lot of replayability value. It came out in to compete with Infinite Air And like its counterpart, it features massive landscapes and many different ways to tackle the same tracks. However it offers players the possibility to explore them not only on a snowboard, but also by walking, gliding on a wingsuit, and even parachuting. This game is perfect if you just want to relax and get lost in the snowy mountains, enjoying the vibrant yet realistic graphics in an intimate snowboarding session.
All from the comfort of your pajamas. It took everything that made the original SSX a good game and refined it, while also shifting the emphasis a bit towards executing gnarly tricks and integrating it into races by making you go faster each time you successfully pulled them off.
It also had a lot of personality which was reflected by its characters, the tracks, and actually naming the game after a Run DMC song. Then you can start the next level by picking up a new snowball on the slope.
Remember not to crash into the trees as the components and a layer of snow on the snowman will fall off.

In the mids, Ubisoft seemed set to make Shaun White a household name for snowboarding romps the same way Tony Hawk was for skateboarding games. And while this series didn't quite reach the lofty heights of that hit, the few titles released proved solid enough for most. This is particularly the case with the Wii rendition of 's Shaun White Snowboarding. The game draws upon the arcade-style traits of SSX, while utilizing the Wii's motion control to its advantage.
The game also marks a rare instance where the Wii's Balance Board is well utilized outside of Wii Fit, adding a dynamic, immersive feel. Intuitive controls, reliable mechanics, and a slew of distinct events round out this memorable down-hill journey. With a radical soundtrack and a wide variety of levels to ride, SSX stands as the best snowboarding game thus far. Combo chains are for both beginner and advanced players.
The grinding is fun beyond words. It's an exhilarating game that must be experienced to gain a sense of its brilliance. As a game that released for the Xbox , it is backward compatible for the Xbox One. Even today, the game stands as a worthwhile purchase that's aged gracefully.
