For a totally free, space-efficient program, this snowboarding game gives you a pretty killer ride. Freeride Earth requires no real installation process to speak of; you simply extract all the game files to a folder, then click the EXE to begin playing. Since this program only provides one mountain on which to shred, your goal is simply to achieve the highest score possible by using the space bar and the arrow keys to pull off jumps, spins, and tricks. You start with a very short amount of time on the clock, so you also must take care to collect the bright blue tokens that will extend your ride. The minimal help files don't explain how many points a certain trick scores, so you'll probably want to experiment. The 3D graphics may not knock hard-core gamers out cold, but most other folks will find them more than suitable. Our biggest gripe about Freeride Earth is its total lack of features; you can't even turn off the sound effects or choose to play with your mouse. Besides that, we can't complain much about this free game and think it makes a surprisingly addictive time killer.

Pros
Ability to free ride, competition mode, challenging but easy to learn.
Cons
Could use some variety, controls.
Summary
Overall, a spiritual successor to SkiFree, but not well defined. Totally download it and try!
Fun relaxing game

Pros
It's cool to just endlessly ride down hill. No it's not an accurate simulation, but if they hadn't made it I would have thought someone should.
Cons
It could be updated and expanded up.
Summary
Too many reviewers completely missed the point of this game. This is not Tony Hawks snowboarding. It's just a novelty program where you ride endlessly and jump like crazy. It's kind of like an interactive screen saver. If this works with Windows 7 I'm getting it again. Updated on Aug 26, 2011The original was much better.

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.

Developer’s Description

By GraphitX

Snowboard around beautiful 3D mountains in this great simulation.

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.
