Shaun White will probably draw comparisons to the Wii's other snow-topped mountain experience, We Ski, but Road Trip throws out that title's kiddy aesthetic for a cool anime look with a great licensed soundtrack. The game does so many things right, it's almost hard to believe that the same company developed both this and its PS3/360 counterpart. 1UP only hopes that more companies will put the same time and attention into making their Wii ports such excellent (and in this case superior) standalone experiences.

"So playing Xenoblade Chronicles has got me thinking about the other great games on the Wii that a lot of people probably haven’t played, but totally embody the Wii experience. With Xenoblade, the Last Story, and maybe Pandora’s Tower being the last real hurrah’s for the Wii in North America, I decided to compile a list of Wii games that people should be sure to play inorder to say that they experienced all the Wii could offer."
Shaun White appeared on KROQ this morning...with a little bit of news to spill.
Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip is a welcome addition to the Wii gaming family. The game is refreshingly fun and downright charming with its cartoony art style and spot on control system.
