Slalom

Les simulations de ski ne sont pas monnaie courante et les amateurs peuvent se réjouir d'en avoir une pour console Nintendo. D'autant plus qu'elle est simple et le jeu se révèle aussi distrayant que difficile.

Even with its okay graphics and sub-par sounds, Slalom still manages to be a great early title. With its fun and challenging gameplay Slalom is one of those games that's easy to just pick up and start playing every now and again. Rare certainly got its legacy off on the right foot with this overlooked gem.

Disons que Slalom est un bon jeu, mais que contrairement à ce qu'on a l'habitude de voir chez Nintendo, il manque un peu de variété et de fantaisie.

Auf die Dauer ist es trotz der technischen Stärken ziemlich eintönig. Leider kommen im weiteren Spielverlauf keine neuen Hindernisse dazu. Die Programmierer haben sich zu früh zur Ruhe gesetzt. Ein bißchen Abwechslung hätte nicht geschadet.

The distant scenery looks nice with the purple mountains superimposed over a deep blue sky. It looks like you're skiing at night! Unfortunately, the trail itself looks like a white road on a gray landscape. I guess the programmers wanted to clearly delineate the trail, but it makes Slalom look like a car racing game! The controls are squirrelly and lack the precision required to comfortably weave between the gates. It's not great, but Slalom still makes for a good seasonal game to play on a cold winters' night.

Youngsters may enjoy this game for its simple concept, but it offers little in the way of fun for anyone else.
