It's okay, but with Amped on the XBOX why bother?

I saw this game at the store for a few bucks and thought "why not?" Well even though it was just a few bucks, I expect a game to be fun and worth my time. This game wasn't. After playing snowboarding games like "Amped" and "Amped 2", this game seems really boring. It's that simple. It just isn't any fun. The graphics are mediocre. The storyline seemed to be just tossed in there to add some color. It didn't "draw me in" at all. So here's the breakdown: poor graphics, terrible gameplay, and if you're looking for a snowboarding game, get Amped.

Perplexing?!

I give Dark Summit 3 stars. I wouldn't say it was the best game ever. The story line and acting was good if you like real cocky anime.
At the beginning you only get to play with one character. You'll have to literally beat the game to unlock the rest of the characters. One thing that was perplexing to me is why would you want to play with the rest of the characters and beat the game, and you already beat it with the first? It takes all the fun out the game itself.
I did,however, give it 3 stars because of the challenge it brought.

P.S. Please! Rent the game before buying. I was stupid enough to buy it. You don't be stupid and rent it first.

The best game ever

This game is one of the coolest games that I have ever played. It 's very fun and if you like snowboarding this is the right game for you. You are trying to stop the evil corporation and you are not allowed to snowboard there, but you do. So they try to stop you from ruining their plans. The evil coorporation uses skiiers to try and stop the snowboarders.

A Mediocre Effort

This is a decent game- nothing more, nothing less. The graphics are OK and the gameplay is sufficient for snowboarding. I congratulate THQ on at least trying to put a different spin on an overexposed subgenre of sports games, but the hokey storyline and ease of reaching the summit left me unsatisfied. The cartoonish aspect is a turn-off for me, but it would make a good game for those in the adolescent crowd who are uninitiated to the world of snowboarding games. Overall, I would give it a true rating of 2 1/2 stars... and I wish I would have bought "Amped."

Very inventive!

This game is quite interesting and diffirent. The graphics are freash and clean the gameplay is new. THIS IS NOT YOU TYPICAL SNOWBOARDING GAME! if your looking for one get Tricky!The gameplay is more missions i.e-knock someone over than apposed to races. The game lack is the atmosphere its OVERLY OVERLY dark and boring. You dont want that in a Action/adventure/sports game! there for i give it a four. real fun a DEFINITE rental!

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

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.

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.
