  1. 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.
  2. Not exactly disappointing, but falling far short of what I'd call a really fun title, Dark Summit is a unique, innovative title.
  3. Has the 'I've gotta see what's next' feeling of excitement around every corner.
  4. 40
    Despite this unique premise, Dark Summit sadly fails in every category.

    It was exciting at the beginning of the game...because the it was mission-based... but i was fustrated because i couldn't play the head to head mode... which made it the only reason to continue... or was it because i just got a more exiting game...haha. Collapse

    A snowboarding game with a little plot to hold it up...but only for a few minutes of wasted time. I'd prefer a game with a better trick system, and a better idea. Pass. Expand
