They say it offers some unique and great touches - Sense of speed and the avalanches but it has little replay value (match mode can be finished in a couple of hours?).
They also mention the dropping framerate (Whats everyones opinion on this, is it true struggling or is it an effect the developers have put it to magnify the hectic scenary changes?).

Mostly intentional but I've seen some points where it "struggles"... you should play it really, make your own mind up.
4 player is apparently very stuttery?
And they say that each of the characters doesn't feel too different despite their ratings, is that true?

Thing is though, a lot of reviews I've read seem to pull the game apart on minor technical points rather than focus on what 1080 offers--a fast, arcade snowboarding racer--which is kind of a shame. I haven't read one that really justifies a reviewers point of view, except for the usual "I've played the N64 game and this isn't as good" excuse. And, let's face it, criticism levelled at 1080 based on this opinion is unfair because the N64 game suffers more so; 1080 Avalanche is a far more polished game overall, clearly showing a technical advantage over its predecessor. Whether it is a better game overall? Well, that's for you to decide...
