Ski Jumping 2011
SCORE: 89
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.
