If you’re a snowboarder, then why are you reading this when there are such great slopes outside?  However, if you only enjoy watching snowboarding or like snowboarding as a concept but not in actual execution, then MyTP Snowboarding is a very cool app to play.

The app simulates the riding of a snowboard down a mountain, with various obstacles along the way.  It feels very natural to tilt the iPhone or iPod Touch right and left to adjust the snowboarder’s direction.  There is some hand gestures involved if you actually want to do snowboarding tricks in the game.

The app opens with a video that is cute but is really unnecessary and possible a space hog.  It’s likely intended to get you in the snowboarding mood.

There are two modes of play, "WorldMode" and "QuickPlay".  In both modes you choose whom you will snowboard as, but with WorldMode you choose other factors such as your gear (which is nice for customizing your character) and the type of slope you want to ride.

The app has nice animation and motion, making full use of Apple’s impressive graphics engine.  You can also tap the Options button on the top right during play to pause the game, change settings or read the help file among other functions.  There seem to be international snowboarding celebrities and brand names involved with the app that I don’t recognize (not being an enthusiast of the sport).

Overall, it is a simple and fun app for your collection.

Quick Take

Value:High.

Would I Buy Again:Quite possibly.

Learning Curve:Low to medium.

Who Is It For:Snowboarding enthusiasts.

What I Like:Great graphics and motion.

What I Don't Like:Intro video seems unnecessary.

Final Statement:A fun game for the inner snowboarders in all of us.
