Front-flips work fine for the most part, but back-flips are extremely problematic. Points rack up very slowly when you hold a trick, giving you little reason to do so - it's much better to toss in a second trick if you have the time than hold the first one forever, and there aren't even multipliers. Once you get the hang of things, these events aren't overly difficult, though the actual stunt setup needed some work. Outside of earning boost, you'll also find a handful of stunt events that you need to complete in the game. The track design is a little too twisty to let you keep your foot on the boost for an extended period of time. It's fine when it's an option, such as how it works for a single class of cars in Burnout Paradise, but you're stuck with how it is here, unfortunately. I've never really liked this sort of system. Boost can be earned by performing stunts in a race, though you can only use it when you fill the meter completely, and if you let up on the boost, you lose it entirely. ![]() While Ski-Doo Snowmobile Challenge is a racing game first and foremost, stunts also play a large part in the overall setup.

There's some to be found, sure, but in the day and age of games like DIRT, MotorStorm, Burnout and Pure, it feels lackluster in terms of its overall enjoyment level. The game is a solid title in terms of overall polish and quality, but it doesn't bring with it too much excitement. Its latest release is Ski-Doo Snowmobile Challenge, an ice-covered racer that has you skirting up and around mountain passes in a race to the finish line. Looking at its profile page, and particularly at its PlayStation 2 catalog, you can see that it has released everything from Mountain Bike Adrenalin to Alfa Romeo and Corvette-based titles to RC Mini Chopper. Valcon Games certainly has a history covered in racing (and more vaguely, driving/riding) releases. ![]()
