Critic Reviews for Snow Moto Racing Freedom
Snow Moto Racing Freedom is another scrappy, challenging and rough-around-the edges extreme sports racer from Zordix. It's not going to win any technical awards, and it takes real patience to master its awkward handling and unforgiving physics.For those who crave something different from the racing genre norm, a little perseverance will yield a surprisingly entertaining arcade experience for one to four players, albeit one that could leave some feeling cold.
With the unfortunate physics, the bland presentation, and some broken mechanics, I can't really suggest this game at full price. As I said earlier, ten dollars is kind of the sweet spot for this one and even then, it can be a stretch. It teeters on bad, but in the end, ends up being just bland and a bit boring.
Ultimately, like Aqua Moto Racing Utopia, Snow Moto Racing Freedom just feels very unrefined.
Snow Moto Racing Freedom is unique but not breathtaking. While it's positive to have a game on the Nintendo Switch that stands alone in its genre, the technical issues and unrefined gameplay that affect Snow Moto Racing Freedom make it very difficult to recommend.

If you're looking a for an arcade title different from the rest, Snow Moto Racing Freedom might be the title for you, thanks to the absence of alternative in its genre.

At a cost of $29.99, there just isn't enough of a potential return on investment to justify Snow Moto Racing Freedom. The game wasn't bad to the point of being unplayable, it was just boring. And that can be almost worse than being unplayable.
While there's plenty of light-hearted arcade fun to be had with this title, and despite the sizable helping of modes and content, somehow, the gameplay experience itself just seems a little bland and hollow. There's some real challenge in the latter parts of the single-player offerings, yet far before one reaches that point, there's a real chance players will be day-dreaming of more colourful variations of the theme, such as SSX Tricky or, more recently, Steep. Snow Moto Racing Freedom is a fairly decent package, but it's also not particularly polished or distinct. Future entries should address the dodgy central physics issues and general lack of personality.
Snow Moto Racing Freedom is a disappointing follow-up to last year's surprisingly enjoyable Aqua Moto Racing Utopia.
