Publisher's description of Freeride Earth
An atomic war has come at last. A very long night is here to stay, and it surely will be followed by an eternal winter. The entire civilization is either wiped out or under duress. But for the mad boarder, it's the coolest thing that could ever happen. In Freeride Earth, you don't have anything to do except enjoy snowboarding across an entire planet. So hop on your board and enjoy practicing tricks.
This little charmer is just what players need to wind down from a long hard day. The randomly generated 3D mountains are as beautiful and soothing as the sound of cutting fresh powder. However, we think the real charm of this snowboarding sim is that it's not made by a major developer and it's wide open for updates and gameplay add-ons.

Version: Freeride Earth 3
Pros: Hey, it's free.
Cons: This game could have been pretty decent, but it lacks so many features that it isn't worth it. For example, there are no customization features, no tutorials for figuring out how to use the controls, no options, nothing. The "contest mode" is too short to figure out how to do anything in it. The controls themselves are pretty lean. Also, there are no directions of any sort to tell you what to do at all. The developers of this game really could have done so much better than they did making this program worth while.

Version: Freeride Earth 3
Summary: this game is nothing like snowboarding. graphics are terrible, the time counts down from 50 to 0 in less than 10 seconds, only one gameplay mode, and above all, what is up with the propeller on the back?
