Curling 2006 is a game designed for fans of this winter sport discipline, nicknamed chess on ice, in which you slide polished granite stones toward a target. With the curlings skyrocketing popularity, a German developer SoWhat! Software Studios decided to try their chances at a simulation of this Olimpic discipline. This game is a result of their hard work.
Quite obviously, only hardcore fans of curling will draw maximum satisfaction from playing this title. It is because only they can appreciate its high realism and faithfulness to the original rules. As in the real-life curling, each millimeter of ice makes a difference, and a well-thought knocking out of the opponents stones and surgical precision of the throw can earn you the Olimpic gold. All this, including excited crowds and maximum concentration visible on the players faces, is shown by the intelligent system of cameras. Only a thought-out strategy, clear mind, and excellent preparation of the entire team will let you succeed. Curling duels can be played against advanced artificial intelligence, as well as a living opponent on one computer or via LAN or the Internet.
The game features two main play modes: Team-Modus and the so-called Skip-Modus. Such a variety means lots of fun for both fans of maximum realism, which requires strategic thinking and quick reflexes, as well as those who prefer more relaxed approach to this elite sport which originated in Scotland. Curling 2006 is designed for curling enthusiasts, but it can also get even complete amateurs interested in this sport. Besides, the game has rather low system requirements.
