[RSS Bot]

I have never EVER seen a game this difficult to control. Perhaps it's because snow is slippery, but I suspect it's because the programmers don't know how to make a snowmobile react to your turns very well. You turn and end up zigzagging along the course, stopping because you slammed into the wall, so you have to back up and get situated correctly. I didn't race anyone, I only did Time Trials, and that was enough to tell me I would be dead last if I ever attempted racing. It'd probably take me at least 5 minutes to do three laps. My best lap time on the first course was 48 seconds. And even then I had to back up a few times because I ran straight into the wall. I chose this game because I like snow, and racing, and thought it would be a good combination. This turns out not to be the case. that is, if you can turn in this game at all. I'd love to see the programmers try to maneuver their snowmobiles through this crap.
