  • at 4:55 u said deers....the plural of deer is deer not deers

  • this was EXTREMely fun :) ohh maaan Terrain-park--- haha got some sick bonuses on that shit...

    and the multiplayer- wasted many nights with friends X)

    overall 9/10

  • dude... everyone had fun with this game... this game was awesome and all the stuff that you are saying are bad critics about this game...

  • Ocarina of time yay

  • I played this game all the time when I was really young so I guess I don't really see much of a problem with the controls because I was kinda brought up with them :P

  • I love playing as the snowman on the rocket.

  • Well if you actually weren't so closed minded and actually played the game after awhile you get better and also the controls were easy kinda hard to figure out tricks but easy none the less

  • I played this game at 8 and I was amazing and didnt have any trouble with the controls.

  • im playin this game now and it's actually a lot of fun =)

  • I totally disagree with him on this, it didn't look like he unlocked much, he only had Mr. Beaks (penguin board) unlocked for special boards and said the "Extreme" mode was incredibly difficult. However, the game isn't actually that hard and once you start to actually play it &see how cool the game really is. I mean come on, there's a *spoiler alert* NES controller board, a rocket (that goes SUPER fast, makes life easy on the harder modes) and tons of alternate characters. Play before reviewing.

  • i used to play this game all the time with my brother! this was one of the best game we have ever played!

  • Fuck this game looks terrible compared to SSX! Now SSX 3 has to be the BEST snowboard game PERIOD! Hope the new SSX coming 2012 lives up to SSX 3.

  • @Fifthmuskateer

    HELL YEAH

  • I disliked this because of the review...not the game.

  • Game was amazing on GC. Sure the controls just suck because of the wii.

  • @onlyoneicouldget Playing on the Wii would do nothing since you still would play with the Gamecube controller.

    But if there was a Wii 1080 game, it would be SWEET and AMAZING. Multiple control styles, character selections, gameplay, etc.

  • @SnipingIsFun He said he had to tilt the controller to go forward... don't think thats the GC :P

  • @SnipingIsFun

    haha yo

  • You remind me of Mark from Classic Game Room.

    That's a good thing BTW.

  • i think the point of it is to have fuuuuuuuuun

  • good review=)

  • maybe it's because you don't know how to play because i completed this game on extreme when i was four

  • ssx

  • @willych27 no it's not noob

  • @MasterFamily1 i was trying to imply that ssx is better than this its obviously not ssx and thank god its not

  • the l button makes the boarder tuck. i liked this game just because it felt more realistic than ssx

  • i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee thisss game <3 <3 

  • I completly disagree with this guy! I thought the controls were easy and overall was an amazing game!

  • i remember playing this about 10 years ago when i was 5 =] controls werent that bad

  • Screw you man! This game is freaking awesome! You just can't play it! You know what, I think I'm gonna fire up the old 'Cube and play it.

  • Lol I have to laugh at that "Ive been snowboarding" so have I man but I cant board anywhere near as good as thse game toons xD controls work smoothly for me...Maybe just maybe you suck at the game ;)

  • i actually love this game, true i havent played the original but i dont think this game is bad on its own at all. really fun and fast-paced and once you get how to use the controls its awesome, in my opinion anyways

  • 1080 Snowboarding > 1080 Avalanche

  • you know why hes dissing on this game? cause he fails at this game. my cousin had this game and 3 years ago i used to play it and i was only 8 years old and i had ALOT of fun playing this awesome game!

  • srsly what kinda review is this??? i like this more then the 1080 snowboarding

    horrible controls yeah right. and this game is tons of fun

  • horrible control scheme? what horrible control scheme? the controls are awesome

  • You just said the controls are terrible without saying why. They are fine, you are just bad at this game.

  • My friend had this game and I had SSX3 and we constantly debated which was better and my stance will never change I will always like SSX3 more

  • @41181131815239

    I like both, but SSX3 is still way better

  • Is this guy joking? The controls were far superior in 1080 Avalanche to 1080 on N64. Both were good games, but I honestly don't even think they compare when it comes down to it. Sorry broseph, you just kinda suck at Avalanche. Don't know what else to tell ya...

  • ill have to respectively disagree with u

  • I didn't have any problems that you had......I guess it varies from person to person. I didn't have problems w/ the "game mechanics" that you said only 10 times, and the gameplay was awesome!!!

  • Am I The Only One Who Seen Mario

  • If you have a broadband Adapter to your GameCube you just need to download Xlink Kai to your pc .. depending on your internet speed and how far the other players are you can play online multiplayer on your GameCube , the software tricks your game cube thinkings its playing on Lan . when i get more funds i will order a adapter off eBay so i can try this.

    Mario Cart double dash , Kirby air Ride also work with this software.

  • I''m not in to sports games yet this is my choice of my most loved Gamecube game ever.It's all about the environment- you crash through chalets and ski restaurants and builldings moving logs around.You see deer running off. It's like an arcade adventure, not a sports game.That's probably why you don't like it. It's not about putting on a neon outfit and acting like a tool- it's a focussed racer with great set pieces that's more about building up speed than it is about tricks.It's an adventure.

  • @Picnicl Very well put. I still remember being a kid who played Avalanche and the other kids in my school mostly played SSX Tricky. Of course, as the title would imply they thought it was better due to the excessive amount of attention focused on the tricks themselves. Honestly though, these are the same people who will tell you Call of Duty is better than Goldeneye. They are all about the eye candy and fast action, and not interested in the plot/adventure. Avalanche was better than SSX Tricky.

  • 1:39 Mario!

  • This is the best game I have ever played. Next to tings like Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

  • It's pronounced 'NOH-viss' not 'NO-viss'

  • Found it $2 used!

  • I loved this game back in the day, I think so far it's my favorite snowboarding game. Good memories, and awesome music.

  • if u wnt to play a good snowboarding game play ssx 3 or ssx tricky

  • just saying that the game itself is very good i got no lag or glitch bugging or anything and the controls i masterred after 2 hours playing

  • wait .. extreme mode is harder then expert well thats because it is

    7:25

  • can some1 who is not k-wing tell me the controls for this game?

  • Rocket Board

    Nuff said

  • i have the legend of zelda ocrina of time its werid

  • WTF HORRIBLE? THE CONTROLS IS NOT THAT BAD! I THINK ITS FINE!

  • What, horrible control sckeme? or how ever thats spelled. I liked it a lot, and great mechanics. But opinions are opinions.

  • i say that ssx 3/ ssx tricky might be better but never played it so i cant say its true

  • i like the n64 version better

  • lol this is funny how the comentator rips on this game for more than half the time but everyone else including myself that comments says this game is amazing. one of my favs for sure and the soundtracks are awsome too!

  • Ever since I got this game, which was many years ago, I have never found a problem with this game. Now that I have finally remembered this game, will play it and remember the memories, and I would rate it 10/10, since it is one of the favorite games I played on GameCube until they made the Wii and had to stop making those games. You just think of the game as a crappy, glitchy game, but you haven't caught the real feeling for the game, and for that, I am sorry for you. This is the best game.

  • i love this game so much. one of the best on The Cube. just as good as 1080.

    Suicide yes. but if you were just going down a hill in a game would it be fun? :P

  • i wish i could pay this but they dont sell gc games anymore :(

    i remember playing the 1080 on n64 when i was a lil kid

    the game was so freaking hard

  • @raket94 find a gamestore. not gamestop. there is a major difference. grab a phonebook and look up titles that say game or play. like play n trade or something.

  • @KeyOfReason001 i know a good website were i probably can find it.

    Dont think there are many indie gamestores here in sweden but i'll check, thanks for the idea man

  • @raket94 you're welcome guy. late.

  • seriously this was an awesome video game i prefered it over the original

  • best snowboarding game ever in my opinion - coolboarders2

  • Avalanche was a good snowboarding game, not the breakthrough for the genre that the original was, but still worthwhile. I can't say I ever had a problem with the control scheme.

  • I thought this game was great. I had it when I was 9 and I didn't have any troubles with the controls. It seemed like you based your entire review and opinion of the game on your inability to play the game even with it's extremely simple control scheme. And you didn't even MENTION the awesome music in this game. And you called it a terrible failure of a game, because of controls? At least try to think of a good reason to hate on this game instead some bullshit. Awful review, great game.

  • I never understood why everyone hates on this game, loved the original, but it was WAY more broken than this, the collision was horrid and the trick system was broken as hell, this emulates tony hawk contols which were pretty awesome if I remember correctly. Anywho the tracks are pretty awesome if a little short, and the modes kept me entertained for a while, more like an 8.5 or 9.0 to me, dunno maybe i'm just crazy of something...

  • i actully like this game

  • i might have already said thus like, a year ago but i really think this was better than the original.

  • tttttttttt

  • so is it a good game? from what im seeing in the comments it is. i just got it brand new, but i didnt want it, i got it on ebay and it was bundled with soul calibur and wave race which i did want ( those arent sealed though). yeah i got it sealed and a black label all 3 games for about 13 bucks because there were no bids XD

    do you guys recommend me keeping it or selling it? i already have ssx 3

  • @SkankinDevil89 Keep it. I've had it for years and I still replay it from scratch every once in a while. The controls work just fine. Notice that this "reviewer" just keeps saying that he doesn't "like" aspects of the game, but never leaves any information about what's wrong. It's a great game, and lots of fun. The arenas are huge, and fun to explore, with many alternate routes etc. The various modes take you through them collecting coins and gates etc. Again, keep and enjoy.

  • @heimdallhinfrode yeah i opened it. it is pretty fun. thanks

  • EVANGELION MUSIC FTW!!!!!!!! 8:14

    evangelion fuckin rules holy shit

  • dude i gotta disagree with u on this vid... i found the first 1080s controls to be atrocious and this avalanches to be great... i thought it was a better game than its predessesor.

  • OMg i buy that game omg the graphics rocks for gamecube

  • hello?

  • dude, this game is an awesome snow boarding game. Its more challenging that most snow boarding games such as ssx and requires real skill and development. UR A GAY AND U SUCK!!!! CUNT

  • dude just sucks at game

  • In my opinion this is the best snowboarding game till now, why? because I think it takes snowboarding a little bit more serious than other games do, It's not just about being goofy and doing extremely unrealistic tricks. It's also much more complete than the other games, it has half pipe, huge trick ramp, awesome races, and awesome music.

  • @dpombo160 too right

  • @dpombo160 lol racing down with a avalanche in your back is realistic then?

  • @dpombo160 you... are a dumbass...

  • @zenthex1234 wow I wrote this thing a year ago, to give you a more serious reason why I like this game, is because it has very rich/surrealistic scenarios, good music, a different range of characters, split screen multiplayer, avalanches, a well planned ending, plus a very good sense of speed. The game is serious, and inspires me to go snowboarding. For me, thats all I need, I don't know about you man.

  • @dpombo160 SSX Trickey dominates in almost all categorys...

  • @dpombo160 amped 2 bro

  • @dpombo160 no body cares about your fukin opinion the game suks as well as you

  • @dpombo160 THIS GUY knows what he is talking about

  • It's still the best snowboarding experience you can have on the Wii to date. SSX Blur was horrendous, and 1080 (64) is much too dated.

  • I don't see why you hate this game so much. I got it the year it came out and I'm still playing it. Except for maybe SSX Tricky, this is the best snowboarding game I've ever played. And as for the controls, they're not bad at all. They work perfectly fine for me. Sure, it takes some getting used to, but they feel great after that. My only complaint is that it felt like it lacked in the content department, but what was there was good enough for me to keep going back to it.

  • i think ssx on tour is better than ssx tricky

  • i disagree, this is a really fun gamecube title

  • If you want an arcade style game with set pieces, intersecting routes and beautiful subtle graphics then you should not miss 1080 Avalanche.

    If you want elaborate over the top tricks, garish neon clothing or alternatively uber-realism that is so 'accurate' that the game has no fun or colour or sense of being a game then look elsewhere.

    1080 Avalanche is a beautifully made game. Short but sweet.

  • the controls arent that bad, i thought they were fine. they make sense. a is jump, x,y,and b are grabs, hold r to spin. their easy to get used to (though i didn't play 1080 on n64 first) i give it a 7.5/10

  • its L-A-N thats how u pronounce it(local-area-network)

  • guys it's his opinion get over it

  • worst review and worst reviewer ever

    The game is really good, you just suck at games appearantly, you should quit playping games if you think this games' control scheme is bad >.>

  • it's his opinion. i like the game to but u can't call him a bad review just because he dislikes a game.

  • you are retarded he is a good reviewer but people like you who dont know anything and just looks at the end at the score its his opinion but you are sitting there yelling at him for no reason

  • What is wrong with you? This game was a load of fun for the Gamecube, and you need to stop blaming things on the controls, get over it. Bad Review, Decent game.

  • SSX Tricky is awesome,but i would buy a Gamecube just for this game itself!!!

  • what are you talking about the controls are easy i had this when i was 7 and the controls were sooo easy

  • this game is sweet! i have it!

  • you also mis-pronounced ocherina.....

  • Novice.. it's pronounced [nov-is] or, if you like.. [gnaw-vis]

    you sound like an idiot when you pronounce it like a like a 2nd grader. Actually.. most kids can probably pronounce a simple word like that correctly, so I guess your just unique.

  • Am i the only one who thinks this was better than the original?

  • No, I like it more too. Same with Wave Race BS being better than Wave Race 64

  • why do you hate the controls they weir great if you ask me

  • left field didnt leave. nintendo released them.

  • i liked ssx on tour better the graphics are the best and gc mode has mario luigi and peach,and it has ski,i bought that instead

  • you must have a bad controller or something....cuz i just played literally 5 min ago its waaay to easy

  • the controls are great. what are you talking about

  • If you spent more time playing the game and cover your weaknesses (like since your retarded fingers won't let you turn) it's actually very fun to play.

  • lol you got the history from wikipedia

  • You were saying all good things in the first part? I didn't even notice

  • i don't need your review to tell me ocarina of time is probably the best game ever

  • man i wish they one on the 360 that would be awesome

  • Can't you play as Mario in this?

  • This game does not have any character of Mario series on it.Unfortunately.But the game is amazing,i have it.

  • it does on some boards and a sculpture in one level

  • i had no prob with controls i loved this game

  • I like the game too. I have it for GameCube and there's the control of the game like in my n-64game i don't see any other buttons except "z" is now "L" but ^^ i think that's normal XD

    Tolles Spiel. Handhabung wie bei 1080° Snowboarding außer das "Z" zu "L" wurde. sonst ist alles aufm GameCube gleichgebliebn. Und wozu 1000 Punkte ausgebn, wenn man das im An- und Verkauf laden für 10 Euro bekommt?

    Grüße

  • Man, I love this game! I find the controls to not be a trouble at all though..... Oh, well we are all inclined to our own opinions i suppose! Good review : )

  • i've never really played the 1080 Skateboarding game, I've played only this one, i dont think it's a bad game at all :)

  • it was never a skateboarding series, the first one is fun, but the controls suck ass

  • man this game has got awesome soundtracks on it.

  • Second console game I ever bought.

    (first was Sonic Adenture DX: Director's Cut)

  • of course because that game is GOD!

  • tangatanga gagogago

  • 2:48 Lan option that dosent really work, Are you crazy?

    I own two copies of the game, and two consoles whit broadband-adapters, its more fun to play it over LAN.

  • I really love this game. Since my Wii's busted, I recently got into this again and I've had tons of fun. I would give it and 8.5/10.

  • This is like the most freaking best video game for gamecube EVER i would even mistake it for a ps3 game

  • ttyl

  • @FlufflesRemade i think you mean best looking game

  • I played the original on N64 man it sucked alot

  • Game ratings are completely broken.

    "This game is terrible"

    6/10.

    5 is complete middle ground. Better than bad, but not good. Mediocre. 6 is more than half good. 7 is good. 8 is great, you've almost filled the whole scale! Good job man! 9 is utterly brilliant. 10 is...well, 10.

    Or at least that makes sense to be. How can 1-6 or 7 all = terrible? The idea that something is only good if it reaches the 8-10 range is completely ridiculous (really, think about it).

  • i wish they would make a third 1080 game, but for wii......

  • ssx?

  • omg omg omg this game is sick it is so easy to control has endless fun and it never freezez glitches or pixelates for me

    extreme mode is meant to be harder its the courses your used to but backwards

  • i think this is still one of the best snowboarding games i've ever played...

  • i luv ricky winterborn... hes fast, balanced, and HOT!!!

  • This game is brilliant! I played it back in the day and never had issues with the controls or any glitches!

  • This game was awesome when I had it.

  • 8:37 dude you said it wrong XD

  • No he didn't Ocarina- Ock-ah-ree-na of time.

  • no one ever said there was a PROPER way to say it.

    most people say OAK-ah-ree-na.

    some say OCK.

  • i disagree

  • i saw mario alot

  • i loved this game

  • Hehe, my birthbay is on 18 february too :D

  • RICKYYYY WINTERBORN!!!

  • 1080 avalanche is such an underrated game. It still remains my favourite out of all the snowboarding games on ALL Nintendo consoles. I love it cause it's more focused on speed and racing and you can do tricks along the way, while games like ssx are slower and more focused on tricks. There's nothing wrong with the controls, wtf is this guy smoking!?

    I hope they make a new 1080 for the Wii!

  • These reviews are awesome! you've got yourself a subscriber :)

  • This guy a kind of a smart ass.

    I've never played the original, but this a really good game! The gameplay's absolutely intense and the controls are fine!

  • its one of the better gamecube games imo

  • Also, it gives you different consistencies of snow and ice and you really feel that you are arcing a line through the white stuff- it's an elegant and also fun game- up there with Outrun 2 for racing experiences in the last generation.

  • environments. It has a great arcade feel the quality of which only Sega tend to frequently excel at but this time it's Nintendo who made a great racing game.

  • 1080 Avalanche got some 90% reviews in magazines but it remains very under-rated by games players I think. That is a big shame- this is not a game that is trying to be flashy with tricks or give you loads of freedom like the SSX games. Instead it's a tightly focussed racing game. Think Super Mario Kart on ice but with much better graphics, much better (and more) shortcuts, and no being hit by red shells that you can't avoid. The course design is often superb and gives you a variety of

  • KWING do you have Animal Crossing for Gamecube? If so, I reckon you should review it.

  • Interesting.

  • I find the controller easy as hell after playing15 mins u get used to it the stunts aint that great but I love the racing on the game (better Racer that SSX on Race events)

    Extreme difficulty was easy as hell for me and I suck most of the time at sport games so this review IMO its kinda broken

  • i agree it needs a storyline and better controlls but this game is really fun to play with friends and some stages are well crafted for the gc

  • this game was the better game for me and my gc and in one magazine of consoles said "we have one list of the best games of the gamecube",and in the first said avalanche i just think that this game its very pretty but now... my gc not work ):

  • never tried this one.. but the n64 one was one of my fav games back then

  • What horrible control scheme? "Wrestling the controls"? Huh? I never thought the controls were that bad. Sure, the game seemed kinda tricky, and when I first played the controls may have seemed a bit tricky or hard, but the controls aren't that bad.

    I don't rememeber this game ever freezing, except maybe when it was showing the avalanche or something--never during actual gameplay. I do think I remember it seeming like the fps low at times.

    Pixelation? Maybe I need to get my eyes checked. :S

  • do they still have the panda in this game?
