I have to admit, the name put me off. As a general rule, anything that describes itself as “crazy” is something to be avoided. If it had been “Wacky Snowboard” or “Zany Snowboard” then I’d probably have been unable to even download the Lite version.

But I did download the Lite version of Crazy Snowboard. I’ve been wanting a snowboarding game and this seemed to fit the bill. There’s no racing yet, but I like the mission structure. Some levels ask you to perform tricks, some to slalom through gates, some to jump through rings. That sort of thing.


The Lite version was fairly good fun, but a bit too slow. Good enough for a 59p purchase, but not the £1.79 they were actually charging.

That was Friday. The very next day the price of Crazy Snowboard dropped to 59p. It’s like fate, or something. Except, you know, not really. The reason I’d heard of Crazy Snowboard is that it got a big Halloween update on Friday and the price drop was to promote this.

The Halloween update added a new board and skeleton-costumed rider and some new missions set on a spooky slope filled with gravestones and zombies. I’ve only done one of the missions on the spooky slope so far, which required me to run down fifteen zombies. Nice.


I’ve actually spent far longer in free ride mode than doing missions. It’s just a joy to ride down the slope, especially as the full version of the game is significantly faster than the Lite version.

Highly recommended at 59p – I moved it to my first page of games on Sunday, which is the highest form of praise.
