Recurring themes

Paywall/Cost negative
Many users are frustrated by the game's shift from being largely free to requiring a $25 purchase to unlock most content, including levels, game modes (like freestyle), and character customization. This is a recurring complaint across multiple reviews, with users feeling it's a 'scam' or 'money grab' and not worth the price.R2R3R20R39
Ads negative
The game is heavily criticized for an excessive number of ads, with some users reporting spending more time watching ads than playing. Some ads are also reported to be inappropriate, sexual, or promote hate/racism, making the game unsuitable for children.R8R24R29R31
Bugs/Crashes negative
Users report frequent app crashes, infinite loading screens, and issues with the game not installing or loading at all. The age verification system is particularly buggy, preventing many users, especially younger ones, from accessing the game despite its '4+' age rating.R1R5R6R14
Gameplay/Controls mixed
While many find the core snowboarding gameplay fun, realistic, and addictive, some users find the controls difficult or confusing. There are also complaints about a limited variety of tricks and the inability to skip the long intro video.R7R10R13R52
Old vs. New Version negative
Many long-time players express disappointment with the recent updates, stating that the game 'used to be good' or 'better when it was free.' They lament the introduction of paywalls and ads, and some even report losing previously unlocked content.R2R8R29R31

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy realistic snowboarding simulations and are willing to either tolerate frequent ads and limited free content or pay $25 for the full experience R7R10R61. It is NOT for players who expect a fully free game, dislike frequent ads, or are easily frustrated by bugs and crashes R3R8R24R48. It is also not suitable for children due to inappropriate ads R8R308 and buggy age restrictions R6.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, primarily focusing on the paywall, ads, and bugs. While there are positive comments about the core gameplay, they are often overshadowed by these issues. The developer's notes mention a new 'Play Now' mode, but reviews do not specifically address this, instead focusing on the overall pay-to-play structure.

  1. [R7] 5/5 · US Love it: This game is the best game for real people who want to play which can also be played by people who are 10 not 17 but it is still a great game
  2. [R10] 5/5 · US Mind blowing and fun: Im not a snowboarder I’m a skier and my whole life I wanted a ski version of this. Still though i loveeeee this game soooooooooooo much Thank you 🤩
  3. [R13] 5/5 · US Fun: This is the funnest game I have ever played. I was doing flips and everything. The only downside it that you have to pay for stuff, and I don’t want got pay on a free game. Other than that, this game has brought me happiness and not suicidal thoughts.
  4. [R61] 5/5 · US Great game: It is amazing great graphics very fun If they made the tasks easier that would be nice but great game
  5. [R26] 2/5 · US It’s okay but no instructions: The graphics are cool but the app just gives you objectives per run without explaining how to actually acquire them or instruction. Basically they ask you to get to the finish line without any instruction or showing you the directions of how to get there.
  6. [R94] 5/5 · US Awesome game: This game is a really cool experience for mobile and I love the detail in it
  7. [R96] 5/5 · US BEST SNOWBOARDING GAME EVER!: This game is so fun and addictive! Snowboard Party is very realistic and cool.
  8. [R2] 1/5 · US Gold diggers!: Used to play this when I was younger and everything was free and now I have to pay 25 dollars!!! I hate company’s who try to juice its players for money
  9. [R3] 1/5 · US Bad: I played one level and I cant do anymore without paying. Instant delete
  10. [R20] 4/5 · US Good but a bad upgrade for 25$: Don’t buy the 25$ upgrade it’s not worth it but it’s a good game
  11. [R39] 2/5 · US could of been good: Amazing game if you pay $25 at this point it shouldnt even be free kinda disappointing
  12. [R8] 1/5 · US Avoid app! - Ads promote hate/ racism & explicit sexual scam ads: There are sexual, inappropriate ads along with ads promoting hate and racism. Game used to be good, but it’s filled with explicit ad garbage. Do not have your kids play this game, it’ll taint them. Game has become pay to play, no longer fun and spend about 90% of time watching ads. Better to play a run, close the app as soon as an
  13. [R24] 1/5 · US 2 minutes of game 15 minutes of adds: If your intentions are to play this game, good luck. Go ahead and see for yourself, do you spend more time playing the game or watching the same add’s over and over and over again?
  14. [R29] 1/5 · US Used to be sick: Used this game to help visualize rotations and different axis on ski/ snowboard but now I can’t go through one level without being hit with a add screen or something dumb like that. I don’t understand how you can mess something that cool up that bad.
  15. [R31] 1/5 · US Bad creator: The company ruined their old version by putting ads that interfere with gameplay. If they did that to their original version they’ll do the same to this version. This version is no different then the old just different scenarios. They’ll likely ruin the gameplay with ads blocking the clock etc like they did in the original version. Save your money. Just play the free version. Don’t su
  16. [R5] 1/5 · US To long: Loading screen will no load
  17. [R48] 3/5 · US I Like It, But......: So I like this game, but I have one problem The game crashes ALOT. It’s a fun game but it crashes like a lot. So if you could fix that then please, do it, I would give it 5 stars but sence it crashes a lot I’m gonna have to give you 3 stars.
  18. [R130] 3/5 · US Nice game but.....: It’s glitching too much but it’s a wonderful game. I hope it gets fixed.
  19. [R134] 3/5 · US Snowboard review: I like snowboard party but the game glitches and doesn't allow me to play for a while
  20. [R1] 3/5 · US A 3 star again: I made my account and it said sorry you could not play snowboard again like the other one
  21. [R6] 1/5 · US Age verification bug: Make sure to mark your age 30 y.o or over. It doesn’t let 16 yo’s play apparently.
  22. [R14] 5/5 · US WHY: Why is this game 17 plus. I used to have it, but undownloaded it and when i went to redownload it, i can’t cuz i’m not 17 Pls fix this
  23. [R16] 5/5 · US Bro let 13 yo’s play: Like why
  24. [R52] 3/5 · US No ssx: It’s hard to control and tricks seem limited
  25. [R64] 1/5 · US It’s dog: It’s graphics are terrible the buttons are stupid
  26. [R66] 5/5 · US The controls are bad: The controls are bad and confusing the thing is thought reviews are saying this game used to be so mischievous better but all I got was a game with four menu options bombarded with ads and didn’t even get to play half the levels
  27. [R73] 1/5 · US Became horrible: This used to be a great game, now it’s a pile of garbage. Bad controls, ads everywhere, maps sold as a DLC package, etc. I used to enjoy this game a lot when I played it a year ago, but it’s awful now. Even as a marketer this hurts to see. Terrible business decisions led you to this. It used to be possible to unlock every map, unlock most of the characters with special abilities (
  28. [R308] 3/5 · AU Good but inappropriate ads: Very fun and addictive but there’s playboy ads so I instantly deleted it.
  29. [R127] 3/5 · US Not terrible: Its fun and courses aren’t bad. My complaint is that there’s not enough tricks to do in the game. You can only do a few grabs, spins, and front and back flips. No corks or different types of rail slides. Limits the experience and amount of tricks you can do. Intro video is too long and can’t skip through it which is pretty annoying but not the biggest deal. Anyways the game isn’t ba
  30. [R228] 3/5 · GB Love it but annoying titles: Such a great game where you actually feel like it takes skill to do tricks! Shame the new update means you can’t skip the lengthy title sequence. I often get bored before it finishes and play a different game.
  31. [R45] 1/5 · US WORST GAME EVER: Hello if you are reading this I am just here to say that you can’t do anything but be on 1 map the hole game. And you have to pay $25 bucks like the crap. Also there are ads after ads.
  32. [R38] 1/5 · US Piece of garbage: Piece of garbage game. All adds and garbage. You even get stuck in the ads screen. Unplayable
  33. [R25] 1/5 · US It won’t let me play: The ga me won’t let me play because when I try to play it kicks me out
