Points rack up very slowly when you hold a trick, giving you little reason to do so - it's much better to toss in a second trick if you have the time than hold the first one forever, and there aren't even multipliers. Once you get the hang of things, these events aren't overly difficult, though the actual stunt setup needed some work. Outside of earning boost, you'll also find a handful of stunt events that you need to complete in the game. The track design is a little too twisty to let you keep your foot on the boost for an extended period of time. It's fine when it's an option, such as how it works for a single class of cars in Burnout Paradise, but you're stuck with how it is here, unfortunately. I've never really liked this sort of system. Boost can be earned by performing stunts in a race, though you can only use it when you fill the meter completely, and if you let up on the boost, you lose it entirely. While Ski-Doo Snowmobile Challenge is a racing game first and foremost, stunts also play a large part in the overall setup. The+trick+system+is+a+little+generic,+but+it+works. There's some to be found, sure, but in the day and age of games like DIRT, MotorStorm, Burnout and Pure, it feels lackluster in terms of its overall enjoyment level.
The game is a solid title in terms of overall polish and quality, but it doesn't bring with it too much excitement. Its latest release is Ski-Doo Snowmobile Challenge, an ice-covered racer that has you skirting up and around mountain passes in a race to the finish line.
Looking at its profile page, and particularly at its PlayStation 2 catalog, you can see that it has released everything from Mountain Bike Adrenalin to Alfa Romeo and Corvette-based titles to RC Mini Chopper.

As I often say, it’s so bright at night that the deer need sunglasses! Ski-Doo LED Headlight Snowmobile VideoĬheck out my interview with Paul Prudhomme, Product Manager, Ski-Doo Clothing & Accessories about the LED headlight… But believe me, after just one night ride with a Ski-Doo Auxiliary LED Headlight, you’ll never ride without one again. Being LED, I’ve never noticed that it draws much power either. So is moving it from one sled to another when you buy new. Many current Ski-Doo snowmobiles can accommodate the LED headlight as a plug and play accessory. Just be careful to switch off for oncoming riders, same as you would with your automobile high beams for other drivers. It also throws light farther ahead on the trail than anything else I’ve seen. It’s so bright that it eliminates shadows. The Ski-Doo Auxiliary LED Headlight is a night riding game changer. That’s why some riders try to improve their night sight by switching to after market bulbs. It’s all too easy to out run most standard headlights. Most high beams are better, but still aren’t perfect. It always seems to leave more shadows and gloomy areas than not. After dark, most sled headlights throw out a weak and dispersed beam. I’ve used the Ski-Doo Auxiliary LED Headlight for two seasons and thousands of kilometres. And that’s why I highly recommend it, especially for the lead sled in any night riding group. Yes, it improves nighttime vision that much.
This bright lamp almost makes the trail ahead look like daylight. Use it in tandem with your high beam and on its own separate dash switch. Then – presto – it’s like someone turned on the floodlights! It integrates so neatly that it’s hardly noticeable – until you turn it on. It installs quickly and easily below your sled’s regular headlight ( Ski-Doo snowmobiles only). A Ski-Doo LED Headlight will impress anyone riding after dark on their snowmobile tour or snowmobile vacation.
