The first game in the Sled Storm series was released on the Playstation video game console. It gained critical acclaim due to its original concept of being one of the first snowmobile racing titles. It was also one of the few racing titles for the original playstation to support 4 player multiplayer with the Multitap adaptor. The courses were extensively produced as they contained many shortcuts and alternate routes to complete a level. They could be played with day, night, sunny, and snow settings to make each race experience slightly different. Six racers were selectable from the outset and two more were unlockable, each of which had different snowmobile handling attributes. The game also had purchasable upgrades for the riders snowmobiles which can improve handling, acceleration, among other things. A trick feature was also implemented which was performed by using two shoulder buttons in combination with the direction pad. Whatever combinations of buttons were used would affect what trick was used. It was also possible to multicombo on higher jumps to gain an even higher score.

The second game in the Sled Storm series was released on the Playstation 2. The gameplay this time around was more similar to SSX. The environments were more interactive than the previous game with a larger amount of shortcuts and alternate paths. An attack button, new to the series, can be used attack opponents in an attempt to knock them off their snowmobile. Again, like the prequel the characters had differing attributes which effect weight, acceleration, and other things. But the storyline for the characters was covered much more in depth. The trick feature in this game was more in extensive and contained a larger amount of possible tricks. It was accessed by using the top four shoulder buttons in combination with the direction pad. The trick meter not only increases the score like the original, but it also charges the newly incorporated "Storm Meter" (which must be charged by performing tricks).

Unlike the previous game you can not play its soundtrack on a CD player because DVD discs are used for most Playstation 2 games.
