Review by Karinlover

"Great game but a little too much and sort of childish...."

Story: Um.. doesnt have one
Controls: :-0!Oh my god! this is one of the worst parts of the game; when your outside boarding, when you jump and press a lot of buttons, you simply do fantastic great moves! See what I mean? Ok, you do half pipe then your first jump you press a bunch of buttons then you quickly score 1000 points Ugh??? ; its TOO easy. you press up and circle you just simply done a great move! I am serious! why dont you try it with a 4 year old? I am telling you Cool Boarders 2 is WAY better than 4. But any way, you can do a lot of tricks in this game and they look coool. I must say I like how you can get so many point in no time and you can control your person smoothly.. :-) But ther are other move that is pretty hard to accomplish. But what is a bit bad here is the moves that are humanly impossible. Like you can do a Quadriple Front flip. Man if somebody actually did that in real world. He/She must have puked and fainted. And you can also do un unlimited 360. once I did a 1080, but that is pretty cheap for the game but a fatal condition in real life!

Graphics: Um.. hello? this is Coolboarders 4! the character graphics should have been improved! You cant even see their faces well. But one thing is good and has IMPROVED; the land scape and the snow. It is smoother than the other ones.
You will see a great improvement. The board sellection great and it has great graphics in it. I also love the way you can improve your board by sellsecting a differnet company. There is also a custom board which you can edit by adding more or less points for it categories; Speed, Response etc... You can also make your own character and decide whether he or she is fat, bright colored, dark colored, tall or short.

Sound: Pretty good but sometimes when you fall or do a mistake, a crowd booos at you. It get annoying. Its funny when the character bumps on something, it moans in agony! HA HA! lol. The harder you bump the more painfull the character moans in pain and agony! When your riding your board it makes a really cool sweeping sound and it really dound like your snowboarding.

Music: the worst part of the game. I must say Coolboarders 2 did a really fantastic job on the music! I love Coolboarders 2 music. But in this gam the music excitement wears off....

This game is pretty worth well buying and is pretty funny!
