Freak Out: Extreme Freeride is an arcade skiing game that focuses on performing tricks and stunts. The main mode is Mission, where players need to jump gaps, make tricks, grind rails and pick stars. Completing the different challenges is rewarded with money, which can be used to buy equipment at the shop. This allows players to unlock new slopes and mountains.
The game has several modes, including Freeride, where the goal is to get the highest score by earning endurance points. The player also needs to collect bones within a time limit in Bone Ride mode.
