Horatio Goes Snowboarding Review (Xbox Series S)

by Jim Smale · January 19, 2022

We grab our board and head to slopes for this Horatio Goes Snowboarding Review where every run is a bunch of money-grabbing and stunt performing mayhem, then we grab a board and head to the waiting chopper while avoiding traffic along the way. Once you’re airlifted to the top of a mountain, it’s time to start our chaotic descent!

Horatio Goes Snowboarding Review Pros:

Nice graphics.
707.1MB download size.
1000 Gamerscore.
Snowboarding gameplay, race down a slope and go through the gates to score.
Earn cash and buy health.
Mini-game at the start of every run where you need to make it down the town Crossy road style and enter the helicopter.
Falling off or failing will put you back to the town and you lose 100 bucks at the hospital and you have to re-buy a new board.
On the slopes, you can do basic stunts by jumping off ramps, hitting gates, and chaining a combo along with the ability to knock people off their skies.
The best score is shown on the main screen.
The endless mode can be unlocked and played.
An amazing soundtrack as it’s pure techno drum and bass Bombs.
Can Invert axis.
Controls are just moving around with the sticks.

Horatio Goes Snowboarding Review Cons:

No actual tutorial.
No real game settings.
Takes a bit of getting used to as you play from the perspective of Horatio coming towards you instead of the traditional behind Horatio and going downhill.
Doesn’t support online leaderboards.
Short-lived experience.
No story and it’s just a weird mix of Crossy Road and a runner.
Earning cash is slow and spending it is expensive.

Summary

Horatio Goes Snowboarding is a runner-style game, fly down a slope going through gates, knock over cones, and people to rack up the scores. In between runs you go a crossy road style journey. Make your way to the bottom of town whilst avoiding the traffic and score bonus points. Whilst Horatio Goes Snowboarding is very basic it is accessible and the techno-influenced soundtrack is amazing it is ultimately a flash/browser game trying to be a console game. Not bad, not amazing but just fun for a casual sesh.
