Dark Summit is a 2001 snowboarding video game developed by Radical Entertainment and published by THQ.[4] It was released for the GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox.

Gameplay

Controls for Dark Summit resemble other skateboarding and snowboarding games of the time. The player is able to perform grinds/jibs, grabs, flips, and complete special tricks on the mountain, alien half-pipe and the chairlift half-pipe.

Different areas are accessed by chairlift, and unlocked via "Lift Points" earned by completing missions. Cosmetics and snowboard upgrades are unlocked through "Equipment Points", earned by completing tricks around the mountain. Special tricks and combos earn more Equipment Points. Lift Points and Equipment Points are accumulated, and for every milestone reached, the player unlocks a new area, cosmetic and snowboard upgrade.

There are 4 different unlockable snowboards by earning Equipment Points. The starting boards offers no advantage over the others and will quickly become obsolete. However, newer boards enhance the overall speed and trick performance of the player.

Reception

The game received "average" reviews on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[5][6][7] NextGen said that the Xbox version "looks quite nice, and it's by no means bad, but it falls far short of its intriguing potential."[24] GamePro, however, said that the PlayStation 2 version "puts a new twist on an otherwise-overdone genre: mission-based action on a snowboard. Despite this unique premise, Dark Summit sadly fails in every category."[30][b]

The Badger of GameZone gave the Xbox version 7.5 out of 10, calling it "a recommended rental due to the fact that while it does add some new concepts to the genre, it still may leave you feeling like it wasn't quite geared up for the power of the Xbox."[31] However, Nick Valentino gave the PlayStation 2 version 7.8 out of 10, saying, "There is a lot to like about this title even though there are little things that bring it down, but it still a title gamers should definitely check out."[32] Michael Lafferty later gave the GameCube version a similar score of 7.8 out of 10, calling it "a solid action game. It features excellent graphics (aside from the pits of green gunk) and an enjoyable, if somewhat predictable, story. This is a fun title."[33]
