Winter Challenge 2008 Demo

Winter might not seem like the perfect season to go outside and engage in competitive activities, but there are plenty of popular winter sports out there, ranging from ski jumping, to skateboarding and bobsleigh. Naturally, they each require different conditions and the fan bases may not be huge, but a lot of talent is still required in order to be successful in any of them.

Winter Challenge 2008 is a fun simulator that allows you to experience a wide variety of fun winter sports from the comfort of your own home, without having to endure the cold, nor deal with the tiredness that comes along with climbing mountains and the like. Not only that, but you can also play them at an international level and try to become the best in the world, all in the span of a few hours.

To start off with, there are five different sports available, each one of which has different rules and equipment requirements. Hence, you can either try your luck at bobsleigh, speed skating, luge, curling, or even ski jumping, depending on what you feel like doing. They are each represented in a pretty realistic manner, even if you really cannot compare them to the real life experience.

In case you are a fan of the winter sports and you would like to play with a specific team, then you should rejoice at the fact that there are almost two dozen teams available, both clubs and national. Obviously, the number is quite low and a bit more variety would have been nice, but you can work with these as well, especially since it doesn’t really matter what colors are the athletes wearing.

The graphics engine is capable enough to render convincing snow and ice effects, although you should not expect anything great when it comes to special effects and character animations. Even so, the visuals are good enough to pass as decent, while the rest of the technical elements work nicely together to provide you with a pleasant experience.

Although it may not contain all the sports featured in the Winter Olympics, Winter Challenge 2008 still has enough content to satisfy most of the fans out there. There are many different competitions to join as well, each one of which provides you with a unique experience.
