This is a great Nintendo developed game. It's got plenty of action, and the music is great. The visuals are awesome, as are the tracks with grinds and alternate paths here and there. There's multiplayer, which is a plus. Overall, this game is entertaining, although less than more popular games, but I still consider it a classic. One of the nicest things about this game is that you can find it on eBay for pretty cheap, compared to the more popular games.

Most of Nintendo's GameCube games this year have been new installments in its established franchises. A number of them have also been racing games, and 1080 Avalanche falls into this particular subcategory, alongside the previously released F-Zero GX, Kirby Air Ride, and Mario Kart: Double Dash!! One of the first games unveiled for the GameCube even prior to the system's release, 1080 Avalanche is the sequel to 1998's excellent Nintendo 64 snowboarding game 1080 Snowboarding, but this new game seems unlikely to enjoy its predecessor's popularity. 1080 Avalanche delivers a sometimes thrilling sensation of speed and features a number of nice touches not found in other snowboarding games on the market, but it has very limited lasting value in its single-player mode, and the split-screen multiplayer mode and network play option don't do much to compensate for this shortcoming. The game is fun to play, but there just isn't much to it.Read full review
I like the sheer speed of it and I love outrunning the AVALANCHE! It looks like you are really moving at the speed shown on screen, and you can do multiple stunts and tricks even in a single jump! You have many alternate routes and shortcuts to follow and different "runs" to choose from. It accomodates 4 players simultaneously or you can race against computer opponents in tournaments. You can choose to race as one of 5 characters, male or female, who have different strengths and weaknesses, and you can unlock different snowboards and costumes and alter egos of the characters as you progress. I like taking shortcuts through buildings and restaurants and knocking down furniture and the patio railing and jumping down to the next level! The only thing I dislike about it is that some characters dress very skimpy and it is WAAAAYYY below freezing out there! Frostbite ain't funny! I decided to buy this great game because my brother and sister and I used to really like to play the demo at Wal-mart and I wanted to play the whole game sitting down and without interruption or neck-ache! You gotta get this game!Read full review
This game was fun to play, but when you get to the expert and extreme pack, you will rage at one point. Other than that, I recommend this game as one of your first GameCube games. This game took me three days to finish, and the manuals and disc were in high condition with no problems.

This game is one of the best games for snowboarding. I have huge gamers in the house and went through the game. It's really not that hard and easy to learn. Awesome graphics and music. Collect all the golden coins in Time Trial mode and you unlock the best and fastest board ever. The last board to unlock is none other than the Mario board. With that board I took it to Trick Attack mode and my highest score was over 102,000 points. Insane. I've had alot of practice with this game and it's one of the best. The mario board is the one you want to unlock for sure. Really I have no dislikes about it, but that's just me.
