Arctic Thunder

Arctic Thunder is a snowmobile racing game developed by Midway Games. It was released as an arcade game, as well as on the Sony PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles, and was a launch title for the latter. In the arcade version of the game, jets blow cold or hot winds, depending on the setting, in the player's face during gameplay. "Arctic Thunder" is part of Midway's "Thunder" series, which also included "Hydro Thunder", "4 Wheel Thunder", "Offroad Thunder", and "Hydro Thunder Hurricane". The Xbox version of this game is not compatible with the Xbox 360. A Dreamcast port was also planned but was cancelled due to sagging sales of the console.
A website was made available before the game's release. As of 2007, the site is no longer active.
Reception.
Jim Preston reviewed the PlayStation 2 version of the game for "Next Generation", rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "there's plenty of "Arctic" but little "Thunder". But then, we suppose "Snow Snooze" wouldn't have been as catchy".
The Xbox version received "mixed" reviews, while the PlayStation 2 version received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
AllGame gave the arcade version a score of three-and-a-half stars out of five and said it was "not an unpleasant arcade diversion, and it can be quite entertaining to compete against other players. The levels are clever and distinct, and only the patented Midway cheapness and simplicity will get in the way of your enjoyment".
