Sno-Cross Championship Racing

Un très bon jeu de la part de Crave qui profite des lacunes sur PSX pour nous pondre une simulation rapide, réaliste et tout à fait bonne.

At the beginning, I thought this game was going to be extraordinarily difficult. The control was loose and it seemed like I'd never be able to get first place in a single race. After I spent more time with it, Sno-Cross Championship Racing proved to be a very fun game. Although there are only seven main tracks, an average two-player mode, and a ho-hum time trial, I had a good time. The track editor's what I enjoyed the most, and is the main reason to play the game.

Snowmobiles are woefully underrepresented in video game racing, while four-wheeled fare is incredibly commonplace. Though some people may disagree, the fundamental differences between asphalt and snow or tires and treads are not that great. Sno-Cross Championship Racing, a quality game based entirely on snowmobile racing, proves that there's no good reason for the unvaried focus of today's racing games.

Sno Cross seems content to play Creed to Sled Storm’s Pearl Jam, and succeeds in being an almost competent rip-off of EA’s snowbound racing sensation. Unfortunately, the game fails to deliver the sense of excitement that Sled Storm gave me. The tracks lack depth and the graphics are far from dazzling. I did appreciate the track editor, but I can’t honestly think of one reason why this game should exist.
