You know what to expect when you pick up a WipEout game: some quick racing, good visuals and tricky tracks. Each title gets slightly better but I don't think any game pushes the envelope with as many new modes and features that there could be.

You could add about a point to this if you haven't played other winter sports games. Although this offers a variety of sports from curling, ski jumping and slalom racing to name a few, this game has pretty much been released in the form of Winter Olympic titles in the past.

It is hard to get too excited about this these days, after playing many button mashing games over the years, but this does what it does well, offering various events from skiing, ski jumping, bobsleigh, speed skating, cross country skiing and so forth. It isn't a bad looking Saturn title either.

I bought this after playing the first game and enjoying it. While it's more than playable it just isn't as good, too much of the same environment, lacks the originality the first game had and just isn't as fun.

As would happen on the older consoles, sports games would be repackaged with a new title offering identical gameplay and graphics. This is the case for this and ATP Tour released the following year. Gameplay 3.5/5 Graphics 3/5 Sound 3.5/5 Difficulty 3.5/5 Originality 3/5
