What a Waste!
Unable to get to Snowmobile, Curling until you've gone through a 'career' and built yourself up to it. Figure skating absolutely is useless and extremely stupid to try to follow a blue circle on the ice. Game locks up - and doesn't want to follow commands that great. Overall, this game belongs in the trash bin. We put it in the xbox once and it went right back to the store. Game cover is misleading, it doesn't state ANYWHERE that the cool games (snowmobile and curling) are locked up. Don't waste your money on this.
