Description EA takes its snowboarding series to higher ground -- this time, to the tippy-top slopes of three fully-modeled mountains for players to explore and shred. It's a revolution inspired by free-roam success of Rockstar's GTA franchise, but EA has made the idea all its own by filling each mountain with miles of terrain to explored and a variety of challenges, course races, stunts and rival encounters to compete against. New to the series beyond the open course structure is the boardpress move (much like the "manual" in other extreme sports games) for stringing combos together across flatlands, extreme weather affects that affect rider physics and can even bring an avalanche down on players, 3-level Uber tricks, handplant tricks, and improvements in character customization
