4.0 out of 5 stars Fun for everyone, February 26, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Dark Summit (Video Game)

You don't have to be a snowboarding fan to like this game. Its fun performing tricks, and the game is not easily won (in two days I completed 10% of the tasks). Here's a list of why I did and didn't like this game:

Pros:
*tricks are easy to learn
*you can push pause to access a list of tricks and how to perform them
*there are all sorts of different tasks to keep you busy
*lots of different characters to try
*good camera angles

Cons:
*playing with friends gets a little dull after a while (there are 3 types of head to head matches)
*it takes a long time to add up enough points to really get good equipment add-ons

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Much to Offer for This Generation of Game, March 12, 2002

Dark Summit really has little to offer since it is a cross between a platformer and a sports game it typiclaly lacks at both. Befor purchasing this game know that SSX tricky has better graphics, sound and gameplay as well as THPS 3 for that matter and genre. This game really seems like somthing that could have been released on the PS One a couple years ago and been great but for todays generation of games it really lacks a physics system feel and overall level of fun. Not Recommended, possible rental.
