Fails on:
- controls - charging for jump makes it overcomplicated & not usable
- no other guys to race
Could have been as great as cyclo though. Redo it.

this is kinda weaker then cyclemainacs the ski mechanic somewhat sucks the idea was good but without other guys to race aganist :/ it takes away final score from me is 2/5

It's good but you say don't compare it to cyclomaniacs but you have to if you had bought this out first i would have enjoyed it but cyclomaniacs is in a different league.

after i was able to slide along on the ground vertical for a quarter of the race i decided the physics made this game a fail.

I think it's very comperable to cyclomaniacs. in fact, it's the same game, only with all of the awesome taken out. Charging up to jump is asinine. -6/5

2/5.
Took a while to get used to the controls. Can't do any more than 8 flips on the Cliff, no matter what I try(max speed boost different characters, different skis), the time challenges are annoyingly difficult, and I ALWAYS crash on the last set of penguins, even if I'm lucky enough to not magically lose my skis going through the others. I think that's pretty much it. >.>

Ha ha, all achievements done! Bonus 2 in 50 seconds was TOUGH.
Oooh, if you crouch in the air you spin faster. Clever!
Great game.

"People, stop comparing this game with CycloManicas. It’s different. Learn the new controls, they’re more powerful once you master them."
Dont preach to me.... for this you get a 1/5... get off ur high horse and dont insult your players.

not as good as cyclomaniacs. no different worlds(although i guess you cant since youre skiing), no racing, so many less characters and "vehicles", less levels, and just not fun.

"People, stop comparing this game with CycloManicas. It’s different... more powerful..." That sounds like a comparison to me!

It would probably be around 3.8-4 if people didn't compare it to cyclomaniacs. This is probably the best ski game on this site so i give it a 5.

Well, I liked it. It's not the same game as Cyclomaniacs. That much is obvious. I could see people rationalizing some disappointment if this were slated to be the sequel, but it's not. People would like it more if it didn't have "Maniacs" in the title, I bet...

Man if this was released before Cyclomaniacs I wouldn't even have the courage to try a second of the same series, good thing cyclomaniacs came first.
I completely agree. The controls are really screwed in this one.

When you say, right in the description, that the Cyclomaniacs have put away their bike, you can't follow up by expecting us NOT to compare it to Cyclomaniacs. That said, mediocre.

It is a shame that Cyclomaniacs' sequel got downgraded for such poor quality, but atleast the heart of these kind of games hasn't yet changed.

Hahaha, is this a joke? You press up to accelerate but down to jump? Plus you can't just jump you need to charge it while you're slowing down? Bahahaha, this is too funneh.

same as the bike game, get to 1st stage start but get nothing but black screen with orange pause/mute button bottom left.
