There is very little music, and sound effects feel cheap and lifeless. Apart from the beginning fanfare and the occasional cheer of onlookers, the game’s sound is sparse, especially during skiing sections. Whether it’s in the down-right frightening character models with flat, humanoid faces or the janky animations that don’t appear to react to speed or terrain, players won’t be able to miss the game’s many flaws. Wherever you look the lack of real financial means is evident. And in tailoring its effort to a niche market, it's clear that the game did not have a massive budget to work with. RTL Biathlon is clearly made for a specific audience in mind. The Junior Cup is the most simple, and will see players take their first few steps on the snow as they race against their competitors. In career mode, players have the opportunity to play real life Biathletes such as Alexander Wolf and Michael Roesch, but can also choose to make their own custom character from a small selection of customization presets.Īs players progress through the main career mode, they’ll be tasked in entering a series of cups that amp up in difficulty. Players can expect a series of Biathlon races on a variety of tracks.
