Speaking of Europe...

>>One of the surprise games of the ECTS exhibition was this new offering from THQ. Surprising in the sense that it clearly showed that there is a place in the market for another snowboarding game, provided it is as polished and playable as this one. In fact, rumours were bound that Sony itself was making frequent visits to the THQ stand to check it out. So, will this be better than Cool Boarders 4- You better believe it!<<

I think it's a positive sign that Shao Lin will not be released here. I saw the demo running at this year's E3 and it looked atrocious -- blocky character animations and uninspired movement and frame rates. Unless it was seriously improved since then, it was going to be a dog of a game. One of THQ's strengths is knowing when to cut their losses and move on.
