SNOW MOBILE RACING
By GT Interactive
GAME DESCRIPTION

(Partial description from Game-over.net)

"Racing games have been around since video games were first invented. Often they are marvels of computer graphics. Demonstrating the newest effects, games such as the Need for Speed series and Dethkarz demonstrate what 3d accelerators are truly capable of. Some racing games focus purely on gameplay and are instant classics, my personal favorite being Big Red Racing. Unfortunately the racing game genre suffers from a huge amount of bad titles. Snowmobile Racing is one of these, not terrible in every way but pretty poor overall.

Snowmobile racing is just that, snowmobile racing. You are able to pick from a large variety of mobiles but there are only four tracks. This, and the lack of a tournament mode or multiplay, made this game pale in comparison too many other racing games currently on the market.

Graphics:
The graphics are mediocre at best. There is very little detail throughout the levels or on the characters. I found myself becoming very bored by the courses very quickly and losing interest after the first lap. There are some nice effects like snow trails and ice. The reflective surface of the ice is very impressive. The environments are very static and devoid of life. This makes the game seem very unreal. I didn't notice any tearing or random dots but I did notice a jerkiness at times even when there was not much on the screen. Direct3d does a good job at accelerating this game but it only is able to do so much. There are only three character animations and I found this somewhat disappointing. Falling is a standard animation which bothered me as it would have been pretty cool to watch my driver fly across the track spraying up snow as he went. The menu system is very ugly and kills the feel of the game. Textures are clean and the sky looks exceptionally nice. Overall the graphics are nothing new and some effects, such as lens flares, that should be present are not."
