Ski Alpine Racing 2007 Demo

Skiing is a sport that is not very forgiving with newcomers, especially when it comes to dangerous downhill descents. However, in a proper environment, you can eliminate the risk of serious injury and attenuate any unfortunate accident, which in turn allows skiers to reach higher speeds and feel much safer, even if it is still possible to break something.

Ski Alpine Racing 2007 is a simulator that enables you to take part in intense skiing competitions around the world, without having to endure the cold or even get up from your chair. Thus, in the career mode, you are able to compete in the prestigious world cup event, as well as choose the league that fits you best, such as junior, amateur and pro. The difficulty level rises together with the league, although it too can be modified between easy, moderate and hard.

The game allows you to create your own character to compete with, or alternatively choose one of the two famous pros available to play as, which are Bode Miller and Hermann Maier. Hence, you can experience the career from their point of view and go head-to-head against the best in the world, or walk your own path and rise from the ranks of the unknown to snatch the world cup for yourself.

Beside the classic Downhill challenge, Alpine Ski Racing 2007 puts a variety of other modes at your disposal, including Super-G, Giant Slalom and Speed-Downhill, all of which come with their particular requirements to enter and different rules. Your progress through the race is spoken out loud by two commentators, who are always making fun of your skiing flaws, especially when you happen to fall or miss a gate.

Since the competitions take you through a variety of locations, the landscapes are varied and well made, although, since it is mostly snow, hills and trees, they might start to look alike quite quickly. You do not have time to admire the scenery in any case, since you are always descending at over 100 km/h and every wrong move can cause a serious fall and a lot of penalty time being added to the final result.

Thanks to the incredible sense of speed down the slope and the witty commentary, Alpine Ski Racing 2007 provides you with almost everything you could ask for from a skiing simulator, including a lot of gameplay modes and a realistic depiction of the sport. The variety of leagues and difficulty levels make it much easier to gradually increase your skills and experience the progress.
