Well, I have bought it for 24,99$ at gamestop. If you go through all 4 level of competition, you will definitly have your money's worth. You have 13 races in rookie and amateur ranks and 28 races in professionnal and the master's league. But remember, if skiing isn't your thing, you will probably won't like it. But if you do, the controls work very well.
And I am very glad to see that somebody else is actually playing Cursed Mountain. I have already left posts on this great game and not a whole lot of people are willing to give it a try. I have never played a game with that kind of great atmosphere and once you get a good feel of the combat controls, it's super fun.
