1080: Avalanche Game Info

One of the first companies to put video game snowboarders in motion now plans to move mountains. Whether players are airdogs or poseurs, goofy foot or regular, 1080: Avalanche for Nintendo GameCube lets fans shred the slopes and even experience an avalanche chasing them downhill. 1080: Avalanche also offers players a variety of hot alternative tunes from bands like Finger Eleven and Cauterize to jam with as they race down the slopes. Players pick the music that suits them the best, just as real snowboarders do. And just like a real snow park, 1080: Avalanche immerses players in incredibly realistic snow-covered environments.

"Natural elements like sunshine, rain, wind -- or in this case, snow and a raging avalanche -- are some of the toughest to re-create in a computer-generated environment," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Not only does 1080: Avalanche succeed, it takes the snowboarding genre to a whole new altitude while maintaining the appeal of the original hit game."
