Arctic Thunder is an arcade game- plain and simple. It can be a lot of fun if you are playing with 2 or 3 others. Aim for the green turbo icons at all costs or you probably will never win. It is a blast when you hit these because your snowmobile takes off like a rocket.

Gameplay (7.0):
Easy controls, fun multiplayer, and stuff to unlock.

Graphics (6.5):
It is arcade-style all the way, so they are not that bad when you consider that. Could have been better.

Replay (7.5):
Very fun when playing with others and can be fun for a single player if you are into unlocking stuff. Will bore you after you have completed everything.

Overall (7.0):
I would love to give this one 3.5 stars, but since I cannot, I chose to round up because of the multiplayer fun.

This game is one of the most exciting games I have ever played.(Period) If you are considering to buy this game, and you like fast paced action and battling while racing) this is the game for you. It is a racing game added with many powerups and weapons, along with a bunch of different modes and characters that can be unlocked! The only bad thing is that every race that you do involves eight players, most of them computer controlled. It would be better if you could do a race with only the human players, it would be more fun. And I really don't think the graphics are bad, because it doesn't really affect anything. If you are wondering if you should get it, but you don'y know because there are weapons involved, it really isn't that violent. Personally, I think the game should be for ages 7 and up. Anyway, if you want a great multiplayer game that will give you hours of racing fun, choose this one.

I was looking for an Xbox game that my 6 year old niece and 7 year old nephew might like when they came to visit me and I picked this one up. We had a great time with it, playing it over and over. The game play is easy enough for youngsters, though I'm not really sure my niece ever knew exactly what she was doing, and collecting points to upgrade the sleds and unlock new tracks and characters was a lot of fun. When they all left, I kept playing until I had it all unlocked. The game play does get repetitive and it is a bit limited--you can only replay the same courses so many times before you get tired of them. But it was a great choice for that weekend when they all came to visit and I'd recommend it!
