Introduction:Dark Summit from THQ challenges you to go extreme with Dark Summit and it's unique mountian boarding characters.
Lowdown:What Dark Summit was trying to be is beyond me. This is one of the worst Xbox games i have played and someone had to be smoking something to think this was good. Maybe I expected a action version of Amped, and maybe that was too much. Dark Summit only plus side is that it had some interesting characters, but besides that i wouldn't waste my time on this game ever again. It's most similar title would be SSX Tricky which pulls off the extreme action snowboarding better than Dark Summit.
