Val’d Isere Skiing and Snowboarding
SCORE: 76
It is really great to see Family Friendly Gaming does not discriminate against retro video games. Val’d Isere Skiing and Snowboarding on the Atari Jaguar is a skiing and snowboarding video game that feels like a racer. The closest comparison is the Outrun video games. Val’d Isere Skiing and Snowboarding feels like an arcade video game on the home console.
Val’d Isere Skiing and Snowboarding looks better than I expected it to. Plenty of diversity to the graphics on this mountain we race on. There are numerous paths down this massively huge mountain in Val’d Isere Skiing and Snowboarding too. Virtual Studio put together a really solid game back in 1994. Many of us here at Family Friendly Gaming want a sequel to this Atari Jaguar video game.
Val’d Isere Skiing and Snowboarding has great sounds and music for its era. I really like the sound bytes in this home console cartridge video game. This cartridge is worth the price of admission trust me. The upbeat tunes will keep you going between all those trees.
The one knock on Val’d Isere Skiing and Snowboarding is the controls. It takes time, and practice to get used to them. The Atari Jaguar controller is the biggest problem with the controls of Val’d Isere Skiing and Snowboarding. A better controller would have done this Atari Jaguar video game a lot of good. At times the on screen controls do not work which makes them meaningless.
At the end of the day Val’d Isere Skiing and Snowboarding is a great retro game for families. Players are taught to avoid hitting other objects - like other people on the slope. Val’d Isere Skiing and Snowboarding also teaches us to do our best going downhill on the slopes. Please note I never did make it to the finish line in Val’d Isere Skiing and Snowboarding.
