Editorial Review:
One of the best snowboarding games on any platform, 1080 Snowboarding faithfully recreates the mountain experience with beautiful graphics, realistic character and environment physics, atmospheric sound effects, and addictive gameplay. Players compete on a variety of unique tracks ranging from a half-pipe and long jump--both devoted to trick-happy boarders--to long descents that offer plenty of environmental obstacles, including jumps, deep powder, ice, and thick stands of trees. On several tracks, simply reaching the bottom of the hill is an accomplishment in itself.
Much of the game's appeal lies in the finely tuned player controls. As in real life, learning the basics--turning, jumping, carving--is a snap. Honing one's skills to smoothly land a jump, pull off complex in- air tricks, and negotiate tight turns and steep descents, however, is very challenging. It's this appealing combination of skill learning and track mastering that promises to entice players back to the slopes season after season. Extra kudos to the designers for the beautifully realistic sound effects--scraping along icy sections of the track is, literally, a tooth-grinding experience. --Eric Twelker
Pros: - One of the best snowboarding games on any platform
- Gorgeous graphics and environmental sound effects
- Realistic character and environment physics
Cons: - Game engine slows down in graphic-heavy sections
- Opening "locked" tracks requires advanced 'boarding skills, patience, and a love for the sport

Rating:  - 1080 BORING!
this is the stuppidiest game i've ever played. I advise everyone not to play it or buy it. It really sucked.
Rating:  - Finally; a great snowboarding game.
I used to love this game; but now it's dated and now that I look back on it, it's not as fun now, either way, here's my review.
Graphics: 8.5/10. This is a more realistic snowboarding game, so there are very realistic colors; unlike snowboarding kids or anything with very bright colors. 1080 features very realistic physics and is very sophisticated. Anyways, the graphics I remember loving mainly because of the powdery snow. I liked to edge in deep snow just because it was it was so fluffy. ... Read More
Rating:  - Great Snowboarding Game.
What can I say except for the fact that this is one of the first 3 dimensional snowboarding games to ever come out for the home console. Now, as one of the first genres of its kind to hit the market, you can't expect this game to be perfect, but it is an incredibly fun game. Now, the only lack I have seem to find in this game is the lack of characters. There is only about five of them. The graphics are awesome, considering how old and outdated the n64 graphics are. There are a lot of levels, all of which ... Read More

Amazing This game rocks! This game allows you to go at (...)-kicking speeds to race other pro snowboarders. With outstanding graphics, this might as well be one of the best N64 games ever!
