    The courses were original and I liked all the shortcuts the game contained, but the auto catch up feature and seemingly "perfect" AI really started to give me some heartburn.

    The main problem is that it lacks the razzmatazz and everything that makes EA BIG’ games so fun to play, and is certainly a case of seen it all before.
  3. Game Informer

    Overall the production value on this game is solid, but since the gameplay is neither groundbreaking nor terribly engaging – the game just falls right in the middle of the pack. [Apr 2002, p.75]

    Sled Storm doesn't just look like "SSX;" it plays like "SSX," too.

    An entertaining game with some real character. I just feel that the lack of depth makes this best as a rental, and with the SSX pedigree behind it, that's a disappointment. [Apr 2002, p.106]

    The game offers simple controls, fast action, and inventive courses with shortcuts so long they almost qualify as completely new tracks.

    A mixed bag of a racer. [Apr 2002]

    Lots of SS's gameplay mechanics don't really work; it gets too fast and chaotic at times, leaving you disoriented, out of control, and bouncing off objects like a pinball. [May 2002, p.109]

    Playing Sled Storm is a lot like going to a rave - a lot of bombast, hype and crazy visual chemical hoopla...but once the effect wears off, there's little left of substance or interest to anyone older than 15.
  11. GamePen
    50
    To not feature a four player option feels almost archaic in this era of gaming.
  12. PSX Nation
    50
    The single biggest sticking point here is that Sled Storm fails to control as well as its predecessor or even "SSX."

    Let me get this straight, the game wasn't aged well and if you are a seeker for different type of games like me or just would like to see whatLet me get this straight, the game wasn't aged well and if you are a seeker for different type of games like me or just would like to see what it was - leave it be. Not only because it looks boring, the one good thing about it, I guess, it's tricks, but we saw this type of stuff already in some better games like Pure, Nail'd and whatnot with better handling and more favorable than Sledstorm on PS2. I feel like even PS1 version plays better today.
    Fair number for this now is 55/100.
    I just wanted the rating to go down a lil bit, because the title is not worthy anymore. Cheers!    … Full Review »
