Gameplay
Development
The game's existence was first mentioned in November 1996.[3] The title was endorsed by Burton Boards of America[4][2] and was showcased at E3 1997.[5]
Eidos stated in early 1998 that they had decided against publishing the game for the PlayStation,[5] but they nonetheless released it a few months later. A Sega Saturn version of the game was slated to be published by developer Silicon Dreams themselves,[2] and was completed in time for its planned release date of April 1998,[6] but in the end it was left unreleased.
Reception
| Publication | Score |
|---|---|
| Power Unlimited | 70%[7] |
| The Sydney Morning Herald | 8.5/10[8] |
| Cambridge Evening News | 3/5[9] |
Cambridge Evening News gave the game a score of 3 out of 5, stating, "But overall the game is slightly dull and predictable. Chill will draw a cool response from snowboarding fans."[9]
Reviewing the Saturn version before its release was cancelled, Sega Saturn Magazine gave it a score of 80% but compared it unfavorably to its contemporary Steep Slope Sliders, citing inferior graphics and dull gameplay.[6]
