One of my first games ever as a kid was for the Playstation. I have never played the PC version.

Skating:
Doing tricks seemed too difficult. I remember trying countless times to get onto platforms and spending so much time trying to complete tasks they wanted. The things on the skating area that made noise were pointless. I'm not sure what they were, but if you touched them, they made noise and I always expected more.

Snowboarding:
I never enjoyed the snowboarding part as it was difficult to avoid the blue balloons. However, I loved the secret snow caves you could snowboard through - this was enchanting to me as a child! Trying to get into the area to get back up the slalom was a bit difficult.

Other:
The music section could have had more music. The start menu where it says "to choose Barbie, Teresa, Christie..." was irritating because when you hovered over each character, they each spoke their name. This was amusing for people I have watched, including my brother as a child. There seemed to be not as much interaction as I would have liked. Not sure what it was, but in the points area after you finished a game, I expected more as well (maybe an arcade-type mini-game, but I was a kid so I can't remember). What is irritating is the lack of snowboards and skates and general customization. The outfits to choose from aren't good. I always wanted more options. The fountain part annoyed me as a child because I wanted more interaction with it (it runs water, but I expected more as a child), it felt pointless.

It's not a "BAD" game, it warms a place in my heart and watching others play it makes me nostalgic. But could've been better.
