Edging is affected by the surface, it has for instance more effect on snow than on ice.Īt the start of the game the player can select one of three skiers (racing, free skiing or mogul). There is also an edging element when the pressure applied to the inside and outside edges of the foot stands are measured, as an additional means to control speed. Just like the original title it is played on a large cabinet where the player stands on a set of ski-like foot stands that are moved with horizontal motions to steer and taking corners while holding onto two bars for stability. Some of the equipment in the game comes from licensed manufacturers.Alpine Racer 2 is a downhill ski racing game and the sequel to Alpine Racer.
The game can be played competitively against another player through a split-screen. The same button is used in the air to perform tricks. Next to steering an additional button can be used to crouch and gain extra speed, but this limits movement. By winning races credits are earned to upgrade the snowboard and ski gear. Each character has different statistics based on speed, turning and power. There are eight characters to choose from (one initially locked) and several courses. These largely serve to qualify for the tournaments. The main game mode is the Extreme Winners Cup that features cross races, slalom, one-on-one and time attack. A first for the series, it mixed skiing with snowboarding previously featured in the arcade game Alpine Surfer.
The features and game modes are most likely not identical to the Alpine Racer 3 arcade game. This is the first game in the series made for a console system. It is based on the arcade Alpine Racer series played on a cabinet where the player stands on a set of ski-like foot stands that are moved with horizontal motions to steer and taking corners while holding onto two bars for stability. Alpine Racer 3 is a downhill ski racing game.
