XTREME-ly bad.

This game sounds great, snowboarding, quads, mountain biking, everything that interests me in a game. Then something horrible happened...I opened my DC and popped this piece of trash in it. I seriously feel I wasted about 3 cents of electricity.

I'll start with the graphics:

Do you remember the old Sega Genesis 32 bit games, with their blocky animations and course graphics? This looks identical to those old games we scrapped years ago for new technology. There is only one camera angle; from behind your character. The characters are very robotic in their XTREME-ly limited movements.

This brings me to the movements in the game:

I'll be honest, I could only stomach trying the ATV's, snowboarding and mountain biking. For the ATV and mountain biking portions the characters did the following: Let go of the bars with the left hand, let go of the bars with the right hand....and, well, that's pretty much it. Supposedly there is a back flip if you use the X button on the pad, but this never worked. Snowboarding also kept the tradition alive with limited tricks. None the less, 3 "tricks"? Wow, I'm impressed...not. This game really made me want to make a movement.

The sound:
There was sound. Some really lame music in the background from someone I'd never heard of before. Definitely not something that gets your adrenaline going while participating in an extreme sport though.

All in all, I popped this bad boy out the DC within 5 minutes, never to be played again. I haven't found any great alternatives for this type of game. Maybe one will come out soon. But for now, I recommend Tony Hawk Pro Skater or THPS2 for a game that offers lots of tricks, fast action as well as good graphics and sound.
