Featuring two styles of racing – Open Mountain and Super SnoCross – Sled Storm delivers a solid racing experience with multi-pathed tracks that are laden with short-cuts, tight turns, and lots of big jumps. In air, you can take it to the extreme and rip off numerous tricks and combos that range from the rather tame (Lookback), to the difficult (One Footed Can Can One Hander), to the psychotic (Backflip). And of course, if you can catch enough air to pull it off, any combination of the 17 basic tricks can be put together for the ultimate combo.

To add to the racing excitement, Electronic Arts put together a “rocking” soundtrack. Rob Zombie’s Hot Rod Herman remix of his popular song, Dragula, is the most notable track, and the rest of the soundtrack is filled with Econoline Crush, Jeff Dyck, and the E-Z Rollers. The Open Mountain mode allows you to buy various parts and upgrade your sled, and by beating its eight tracks under various conditions – namely at night and in fog – you are able to unlock the Stormsled, a hyped-up trick mobile. To unlock the hidden characters, you need to score a certain number of trick points while placing first in the Super SnoCross mode.

Certainly, Sled Storm isn’t the greatest racing game of all time, but its unique use of snowmobiles and tricks puts it up there with the best. Fans of Jet Moto, and multiplayer maniacs will especially appreciate it.
