The Games: Winter Challenge
DOS version
Lots of fun.
The Good
- The graphics. As with its sequel, "Summer Challenge", they mix motion capture with 3D, with excellent results. The colour palette is also fantastic for its time.
-
The different trials are lots of fun to play, alone or (preferred) with friends who can laugh at your failures and then test their abilities themselves.
The Bad
- The music and sound effects are very good, but during certain trials, such as downhill skying, you won't be hearing much. -
Some trials, like the ski jump, are difficult to master because of the controls.
The Bottom Line
This game would be funny enough just because of the win / lose animations. Combined with the graphics and the trials themselves, it's the best winter sports game I've ever played.
