The selection of mini-games within this game is excellent. Unfortunately many of them suffer from control clunkiness that can make them tedious and frustrating. Worth trying out however, especially in multiplayer.

It's like Winter Games, only more rad.

I'd like to add a comment on the music: Anyone who has heard Rob Hubbard's original may be disappointed at first: Where are those loud guitars gone? But then, listen again: It's the Amiga version on acid.

To cut things short: The soundtrack has its charms, the game as such is great - almost a classic, bizarrely underrated by the critics.

This one is as excellent as Skate Or Die but maybe suffers from being released as late as 1990. Anyway, this makes it the last of the great American multi-event sports games. 8. 7/10

Better (smoother gfx) than the Amiga version. Good GFX but sloppy handling iirc. 7/10

Competent sequel to Skate or Die, but somehow it misses the magic.
