At each level you are given the scenario from the general director of the tour, Gale Parker who is a charismatic star to snowboarders around the world. If you make the grade you get to move on, if you don't you're kicked off the team. No second chances, no additional words of encourage.
Gale is one tough cookie.
The sounds are of relatively high quality and accurate. During the scenario mode you can hear the radio chatter to the cameramen and their reactions to your tricks. The in-game graphics have a nasty tendency to 'seam' on you though if you board too close to the edges of the course. Also with the faster moving courses, there is some pop-up to be seen. Some of the more established boarding titles, specifically Cool Boarders, make this game look primative.
