Why you can trust GamesRadar+
And then there are the skiing events- Slalom, Giant Slalom, Super G and Downhill. They all control the same, but involvedifferent technique and rhythm. At first, the controls feel impossibly sensitive, but if you give it time, you’ll find an amazingly subtle and natural control scheme, one that seems to have no place amongst the garbage that fills the rest of the game. If the developers had ditched the whole concept and just made a skiing game using these controls (with some SSX-style mountain-roaming thrown in) they would have had a decent, if not even awesome game.
At 30 bucks Winter Sports isn’t remotely worth the money. You could get a decent rental out of it- get some friends together, laugh at each other while doing the crap events once each, then play the skiing parts until Lost is on.
