This game is garentied to be a best seller. The grafics are given a 4 and the controlls a 3 but the gaming it self is a overal 4. When you buy this game pick between a group of silly and serious young riders. Pick between daring and thrilling cources with obsticales and secret shortcuts with hidden affects.
My opinion is to buy this game,its a keeper-

Action Filled Boarding

An overall great piece of entertainment, Dark Summit combines strategy, action and sports all in one. You can just board around the mountain, go on the scouted game trail, or just play.

The manual has 2 pages solid of tricks you can do, and you can discover secret trick combos while playing. You can also find hidden trails, tunnels and paths through the mountain.

The game takes full advantage of the xbox's quick loading times and hard drive caching, allowing huge levels with unlimited options while playing.

Unlock new characters and boards by doing tricks for equipment points, and advance through the game to eventually beat it.

A must have! It will definitely hold you over until Amped is released!

Graphics don't do justice do XBox

This game plays like any other skating/snowboarding game, so if you like that genre, you will like this game. However, the graphics are lame compared to other XBox titles. Looks like they dumbed down the graphics to make the port to PlayStation2 easier. It looks like sticking with XBox exclusive titles might be a wise choice, as those are the games with the best graphics.

You will be on the edge of your seat with this one whether it be you neck and neck with the leader or about to perform that magnificient trick. This game gets 5 Stars from me!

Not really a snowboarding game

The story line is kinda lame and the majority of the "action" doesn't really relate. I like Tricky SSX much better.

Enjoyable mix of sports and story

I, for one, like the mission-oriented approach of this snowboarding game. The storyline is good if not remarkable, and it makes the gameplay very enjoyable. You are not just going for pure speed for 30 minutes of gameplay, but have tons of features to explore.

Game graphics is decent but unfortunately does not show off Xbox's capabilities. (C'mon, Microsoft, help Xbox developers do a better job!)

Doesnt match up to ssx tricky

This game is very enjoyable but it doesnt match up to ssx. this game is great but my advice is to skip this and buy ssx tricky which is the best snowboarding game.

A different kind of game (that actually works)

Dark Summit is not quite what I was expecting as the third choice of an xbox package deal. I thought that I would be performing tricks and racing down a hill over and over which is fun if the eye candy is good enough. Luckily, I was wrong. The game has a decent storyline and keeps you doing new things and trying out new tricks. A solid game. The only issue I have with it is that the multiplayer doesn't let you have a trick competition, just racing and demolition.

This is not a snowboarding game! Animations and tricks are totally lame, and main character looks like a she-male (not that there's anything wrong with she-males, I just don't want to play as one in a snowboarding game).

Very little replay value in this game. If you want a kids snowboarding game, get SSX instead. If you want a real snowboarding game, get Amped.

VERY FUN BUT EASY

this game is very fun, but unfortunatly it is very short and very easy, this is not a game to buy bcuz if u r a good xbox player like me u will finish this game in about 3-5 hours and b bored after that while playing again or multiplayer. If u want to buy it its okay but first RENT THE GAME and then buy it to c if for you it is easy or not
