What’s It About?
The first level "Learning to Tilt" serves as the tutorial starting with the basic skill: tilting the device left and right to guide your boarder along a collection of snowy precipices (high scores unlock snowman, polar bear, and other goofy riders as well as cool boards). Kids can retry endlessly after wipeouts (which are quite numerous and on the gratuitous side with toppling, parts flying, and grunts of pain). Luckily checkpoints allow restarts without returning to the beginning. Android version has 25 courses.
Is It Any Good?
Originally a flash game for the PC, iStunt 2 has transitioned well to the iOS world. While it's hardly advanced, the game can be a fun for players with patience, offering a wide number of challenges and checkpoints (so that when you inevitably fail at one of those challenges, you don't have to start over from the beginning). The difficulty is a factor, though -- as the game gets hard fast. And the violence levels increase dramatically (and unexpectedly) as you get further into the game. It all looks great, is easy to control and is loaded with over 40 levels, which is a bit more heft than you might expect from a title like this. Paying for a game that can be played for free online might seem a little odd, but consider it a tariff for being able to play while you're on the go.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
