This is a great skiing and snowboarding game! There are several different modes of play including Giant Salom, Downhill, and Giant! Also included is Freestyle where you race against the clock, and try to avoid obstacles (my favorite!).

The graphics in the game are not only great, but they are very fast! It's amazing how fast things fly buy when you are racing thru the dips in the course! And make sure you watch out for the snowplows and other skiiers too! Not to mention the ice blocks and trees! It can be very tough at times, but all in all, it's a great game.

Graphics

Excelent graphics here! The backgrounds are awesome! Even the slopes and the moving obstacles are great. Even up close, they are still decent (a bit blocky, but not too bad). The graphics in this game are FAST too!

Sound/Music

Music is decent thought the game. Not in stereo, tho. Sound effects are there, but they are not all that spectacular.

Control

Excellent control of your skiier. The game responds quickly to the controler. Who could ask for anything better!

Fun

Awesome fast game! You sort of need to memorize the course before you can get good at avoiding the obstacles, but other than that it is a ton of fun to play!

Overall

This is one of the better games for the Jaguar. If you like racing type of games, this is a definate must buy! Get it at KB Toys for just $11.99!
