Visuals are ok, and the half pipe snowboarding is pretty decent, but I wasn't a fan of the other minigames.
I can literally quote my own review of Skate or Die and apply all of it to Ski or Die
"
Skate or Die? I... do I really have to do either because I'd much rather not.
The man in the skate shop screens scared me as a young child.*
The rest of the game suffers from the typical "sports games weren't really good until the mid 90s". The spirit was willing but the body (or rather the game mechanics) was weak."
* I did not play Ski or Die as a child, but the man in the ski shop on the menus is absolutely no better. WHO DESIGNED THESE CHARACTERS?
