Ski Jumping 2011 

 

Every time I think of Ski Jumping, I remember ABC's Wide World of Sports and the agony of defeat. So whenever I play a Ski Jumping game I see if it will duplicate a tumbling accident. Ski Jumping 2011 on the iPhone/iPod Touch will let you tumble down the slopes if you make a mistake. Your jumper will also get injured so the entertainment value of the crash dies down very quickly. Which is an intelligent design by the developer.

The graphics in Ski Jumping 2011 are very beautiful. Watching the trees go by as I gathered speed for the jump was one of the many little details in this game. I also noticed advertisements on the walls near the bottom. The fifty built in ski jumpers animate in a realistic way. If you play Ski Jumping 2011 properly you will not crash. I tested all aspects of this game, and finding out how it handled a crash was on my checklist.

The music in Ski Jumping 2011 is upbeat. For some reason though I was not into the music in Ski Jumping 2011. It just was not to my personal liking. There is an international flavor to Ski Jumping 2011. Ski Jumpers represent different countries. This game tells you when to tap the screen, so you are not trying to puzzle out how to play it. There is also a tutorial included which is very beneficial.

Ski Jumping 2011 includes a pass and play feature for up to four players. Tournament mode, quick play, and world cup are the main modes of Ski Jumping 2011. For the price you get a lot of game in Ski Jumping 2011. Family Friendly Gaming was provided a download code for this game, but I still feel it is worth the money. You can even compare your scores to real world records. How cool is that?

I like it when a game is easy to control. Ski Jumping 2011 is one of those games that is very easy to control. Tap the screen at the right points in time to progress properly. Wait too long, and your Ski Jumper goes for a nasty tumble. I always felt bad when I wound up injuring them. Yes I know this is a video game, but I believe in being the same person no matter where I am. Too confusing to be different people in different places. Plus it is dishonest.

Vivid Games knows what they are doing, and Ski Jumping 2011 is an excellent video game. I really enjoyed this game, and will welcome sequels in the future. I learned some interesting things about Ski Jumping thanks to this game. Ski Jumping 2011 is a very enjoyable experience for all ages of the family. I am recommending Ski Jumping 2011 to family, friends, and pastors I know.
