Winter Stars’ excellent, simple-to-learn motion controls and thrilling gameplay tempt players to get off their couches.
Each player can select his or her own personal difficulty level in the special “family mode,” resulting in an enjoyable multiplayer experience with equal chances for everyone. Winter Stars’ single-player campaign is rich in variety and lets players experience every facet of an athlete’s career.
With no fewer than eleven sports—paraskiing, curling, snowmobiling, bobsledding, downhill skiing, figure skating, biathlon, freeride skiing, snowboard cross, ski flying, and short-track racing—sports fans of all ages and skill levels will be able to compete with one another or against computer opponents in this new title, which will be a breath of fresh air for the genre. Up to four players can participate in exhilarating online or offline tournaments for championship titles, or they can just enjoy the assortment of mini-games with winter sports themes that are available.
In addition to a rich career structure and character development, the story-driven single-player option includes a number of unique challenges, like training sessions that offer arcade-style entertainment in between events. In order to prepare for the various obstacles that lie ahead and to aid their team in winning, console athletes can utilize the experience points they accumulate to upgrade their equipment and sharpen their skills.
