It’s December, the end of the year. Some people call it the most wonderful time of the year. Everybody is getting ready for the Holidays, setting their menus and buy Christmas presents. It’s definitely a great time and everybody hopes to have a white Christmas but it’s not in our control. We can always play video games with snow in them, Snow Moto Racing Freedom is one of them but is it a game good enough to play during the Holidays?
Snow Moto Racing Freedom is a snowmobile racing game for the Nintendo Switch, you start off by making a rider and customize there outfit and snowmobile. When you finished choosing the colors that do the best job defining you as a person you can start racing. There is a championship mode, a single race mode and a local and online multiplayer mode to race with up to 8 players.
There are 3 different types of competition in Snow Moto Racing Freedom, a freestyle mode where you get points for your tricks and are completely free to go where you want and have 1 minute to get as many points as you can get. Then there is a cross race mode where you race on a snowmobile circuit and then there is a checkpoint mode where you have to race to get to checkpoints on a pretty big map.
The tricks in this games were the reason I got super excited about this game. As a kid, I grew up playing SSX and Snow Moto Racing showed a lot of similarities when I saw the trailer for this game. But I was very disappointed when I finished racing and realized that this game is nothing like SSX. The tricks all feel the same and are too easy to land and have nothing that makes it satisfying.
I would like to talk about the graphics but my parents always told me that if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.
Verdict:
The concept of this game is good but the game itself is just horrible. The controls are unusable and make the game anything but fun. There are many different tracks but somehow they all feel the same. I’m very sorry to say this but I never had just a bit of fun while playing this game. It feels like a game for the PlayStation 2 that you would buy in your local supermarket. The quality is just so poor it’s not even bearable. If this game was around 10 Euro, this could be worth for people who really really like snowmobiles but I was very surprised to learn that this game is around 40 Euro, which is just ridiculous. There are much better games for a fraction of the price on the Switch. The only good thing about this game is that the file size is surprisingly small but I removed this game after just a few hours because this game is, in my opinion, the worst Switch game at this moment.
