Granite
Curling has many unique features that set it apart from other sports, the most notable of which is sweeping: a rule that allow a player's teammates to brush the ice in front of the sliding stone to allow it to go further. Effective sweeping, which can lengthen a stones journey and determine its final destination, requires astute skill and experience. Rapid brushing and the proper amount of pressure will help give the stone the proper curl, or curve. A good combination of reflexes, timing, and strategy are required to succeed in the game.
Granite faithfully renders the sport for Windows system, including bright graphics, accurate physics, and a good number of alternate views you can view the action from. The game provides an excellent practice mode where beginners can learn how different types of rocks and ice surfaces interact, and veteran players can adjust the skill level of computer opponents to suit their level of expertise. With many gameplay options, good physics, and an accessible interface, Granite is a great curling game for both beginners and expert curlers. Two thumbs up!
