Editorial Review:
If 13-year-old Shaun White can ride with the big guys in the professional snowboarding circuit, then certainly you can master a snowboarding game simulation. Right? For the first time in the Cool Boarder series, PlayStation owners can challenge the likes of Mr. White and 15 other pro riders who have been digitally re-created for the game.
Add eight new tricks (such as hand plants in the half pipe) and a complete build-a-rider mode (which allows you to create your own snowy superstar), and you've pretty much summed up the major differences between Cool Boarders 3 and Cool Boarders 4. One of the coolest new effects in the game is that riders now sink into deep powder instead of skating right over it. A signature of the series is the ability to throw punches at other riders during races, but players can choose to turn that feature off for a cleaner challenge.
Players who were gaga over Cool Boarders 3 will be pleased with the enhancements in this game. But with gameplay that is essentially the same as its predecessor, gamers looking for a unique thrill may wish to carve a turn and look elsewhere. --Jeff Young
Pros:
- 16 real pro snowboarders, 30 new courses, and nine board manufacturers add to realism
- Customized athletic ability, clothing, and board
Cons:
- Fourth incarnation of game not exactly fresh

Rating:  - Painfully slow.
I bought this game expecting some fast, exciting, off-the-wall snowboarding action. I got quite the opposite. This game is weak, with snail-pace action, little incentive to do all the fancy tricks, and unremarkable graphics. I can tell that they were going for more of a simulation game, but this game is so difficult to control and frustrating that you are not likely to make it far before shutting off the game.
There are a few pros. The 16 different boarders give you a diverse selection of strengths ... Read More
Rating:  - Some huge air to go along with this game!
This game may seem a little weird at first, but once you've played it for a day or so you tottally love it and get addicted to it. It has plenty of challenge, especially Japan's Big Air, I just barely won it today! The special courses that go along with the events just kick butt and are very interesting and challenging. I would reccommend buying this game if you have the money. It just makes you wanna go out and snowboard! Oh yah, did I mention.... You can also create a character and design your own ... Read More

Rating: - Graphics???
I bought this game because I really liked Cool Borders 3. When I started playing I really got turned off. The graphics really stink
Rating:  - Wicked Dude
I got this game for Christmas and I loved it. The only problem is it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to get Alaska, France and Japan. (personally) I think this is the best game in the Coolboarders series. They should let the tournaments be simpler and the Trickmasters easier.
I gave this game a 4 star but get it and you won't regret getting it. It's a game the family can play.
