96.0. "Cool Boarders" by COMICS::SUMNERC (OpenVMS Counter Intelligence) Thu Jan 30 1997 11:18

    
    Has anyone seen this game, or a review for it.
    
    It's release in the UK on the 5th Feb.

    It's reviewed in the Official Playstation Mag, they weren't that keen
    on it, but then they raved about Victory Boxing which is terrible.

Is that "Boarders" as in "surf boarders" or as in people who are renting
your rooms?  :')

    I read a review in Playstation Plus that rated it at 91% and said it
    was the best one-player sport game available!

    Well, I bought it yesterday.  It's not the sort of game I usually go for
    (more of a two player - competition person), but CoolBoarders is very
    good.
    
    It's worth hiring out, but I would have preferred a competion type
    game, where you do different disiplines against friends or the
    computer.  The tricks are good and the game play is very similar to the
    nameco ski simulator in the arcades.  
    
    I'd personally like to see the Commodore64 style Winter Games released
    on the playstation.

    I've been playing this game (on and off) for a number of weeks now, and
    have to say it's brilliant.
    
    You don't need 2 player, as you can race the ghost rider.
    
    Head straight for the alpine boards dudes and don't worry, cos you can
    ride them fakie too.
    
    No bad, try it a little faster next time,
    
    Chris :-)

     I think this game was rushed onto the market! There are nowhere near
    enough options in it and the graphics are jerky.
         I bought it a couple of weeks ago and loved it for a couple of
    hours then took it back to the shop two days later!
    
    
                            Enough said,
