A Near hit

User Rating: 6.5 | Dark Summit GC

This is a cool take on the snowboarding genre, if only because it gives us a storyline. Frankly, I like the idea even if this game was not successful. The storyline is relatively weak, a trip down a mountain that turns out to be a government controlled area 51 like place .
You,as part of the snowboarding counter culture are trying to expose it.
To do that you are given a series of tasks. There are plenty of them, and thanks to the sheer size of the courses, a good deal of the gameplay will be spent doing just that.
Thankfully,the controls are just tight enough to help you do that . Barely.
the graphics were good for an early last generation game , yet they look barely passable by todays standards. The sound works to give the game a decent tone.
All in all I would recommend it if you find it for less then ten dollars .
