    The reasonably slick framerate is compromised somewhat in the slightly lacklustre two-player sections. Ultimately, Dark Summit takes a fairly tired genre and breathes some new life into it.

    A good game that has a few problems--which range from minor control issues to placement of challenge points--but none of them are substantial enough to ruin the overall experience.

    Somehow, THQ has managed to pull of an interesting feat--designing a game that takes a different approach to the snowboarding genre and that is actually quite fun.

    [Graphics]: The Xbox version of Dark Summit is obviously the favorite son here. The PS2 version doesn't look bad, but it definitely lags behind, with weaker texture detail and a skippy framerate here and there.
