I played We Ski and We Ski and Snowboard and so was looking forward to this game. It has not disappointed me in the least. It is everything I thought it would be and more. I have thoroughly enjoyed exploring the various parts of the different resorts; finding the different treasure chests while experiencing the different modes of transportation.
I probably have played more just roaming around more than going into all the different mini games (though I have done that as well.) The snow resort adds to what the other two games had going for them. I love that you have the option to go down from the top of this mountain with a snow tube. There is a mini game at the top of the mountain where you are the "bowling ball" on your snow tube and you knock down snowmen pins as you go down the hill. That game is amazing.
I also really like the dog sled aspect of the game. It's an interesting balance of making sure that I do not make my dog too tired along the way.
BTW, speaking of the dog. As soon as you can get one-be sure to....and take it with you as you free roam the island in all parts of the resort. He will bark when you pass a special place in the game alerting you to something you might miss otherwise. This goes for treasure chests as well as special jumps that give you awards.
I have even roamed on foot....or by swimming to get around slower so I don't miss certain parts of the island. It helped me to see things that I had missed at first.
The city part is enjoyable. I do not go far before I am jumping on something to ride the rails around town. I love jumping on one not knowing where it is going to take me. The ones where I end up on top of some very tall building are my most favorite.
Also, I really have been enjoying the bungee jumping. At first it seemed a bit lame, but then I understood it better and have been going around recently trying to get all the bungee jumping stamps.
I love that there are horses you can ride around and cars and atv's. The whole of everything just makes this game special. The challenges within whether a mini game or some other assignment that you are given gives you much to choose from. I have been playing for 3 weeks and still have things left undone or accomplished.
I am not put off by not being able to connect via wi fi. The game doesn't seem to lend itself to that kind of play. I can play with others in my family if I want to, but for the most part, I get more out of it just playing alone; taking my turn.
There is not a lot of discussion about the various parts of this game. I am hoping to find more people talking about this game that are enjoying it as much as I am.
