Pros: Really fun to play
Cons: unrealistic

This game is a great game. Some of the things that I do not like are the fact that they have a few levels that are unrealistic. If you're looking for a realistic game of real snowboarding this probably is not your game. Personally, I like both realistic and non-realistic.

This game has super cool tricks. I like the sounds. The one player mode rules you have time trials and all sorts of things. I really like the part where you take the chair lift up for more laps. By the way, you can adjust laps on races. I usually go for four just because it is not too much so it gets boring, but its not too little. Snowboard kids is a cartoon game where all the characters are cartoons.

I would recommend this game to all of my friends. On the issue of buying or renting I would say buy, it has a long lasting fun element of different levels, different riders, and plenty of fun things to discover as you go. In a nutshell, I would say this game is great.
