| | GameSpy: 1080 Avalanche Preview |
 | | Granted, Avalanche has its share of fantasy-world scenarios (such as cutting a path through a subterranean cavern with giant stalactites falling from the ceiling), but it mostly provides a more realistic and intense perspective of the sport, one that's certainly less forgiving. |
 | | Similar to its predecessor, Avalanche features a series of gameplay modes, including time trial (race for the best time or to find hidden coins), gate challenge (a circuit of slalom races across various courses), and trick attack (a freestyle festival of jumps, flips, spins, and other stunts). |
 | | Nintendo's first 1080 game was often criticized for being too tight for the player to control, and it's not much different here. |
