Since Ben came back with his hands on impressions of Destineer's upcoming Xbox 360-exclusive snowboarding title, Stoked, I've had my eye on the game. The game's deep, true-to-life boarding mechanics look to be -- much like EA's skate -- challenging, but rewarding.
I'll find out sooner rather than later. The game's finally been given a release date of February 24. And best of all? It carries at MSRP of $39.99. That's at least one hundred dollars cheaper than an average getaway at to Vail, Colarado ... and it's safer. Plus, you can't increase your Gamerscore by leaving the house.
Destineer have passed along a slew of new screens detailing Stoked's photo mode, which allows you to snap images of your snowboarder in action. The best shots make it on the digital in-game covers of top snowboarding mags like Huck and Method.
Totally tubular! That's what the kids are saying, right? Right ...?

Because it's just snowboarding slang?
Shaun White was awful on 360. Loose control, couldn't really get it together.
But I don't know of the Wii version. I've heard it's waaaay better of a game, including using the balance board.
I hope this game has more promise that Shaun White.
At all.
I'm interested cause i haven't touched a showboarding game since Tricky. but I'm pretty sure a bigger game is being released that same day which has a priority of BUY ME NOW.
oh yeah, star Ocean. guess i'll keep holding out on SSX then. Drat!
no wonder the cheap pricetag lol
