Gameplay

Kristi Yamaguchi Fantasy Ice Skating allows the player to build a figure‑skating routine by selecting individual moves and arranging them into a sequence that Kristi Yamaguchi performs on screen. The user chooses a costume, a piece of music, and a setting such as an arena, an outdoor lake, or a fantasy backdrop. Video clips featuring Yamaguchi appear between activities to demonstrate movements and provide guidance. Completed routines can be saved, replayed, or altered later, and the motion‑capture model animates the skater's performance according to the player's selections. [3]

Development

The game was showcased at E3 1997. [4]

Reception

Los Angeles Times said "Younger eyes might not be as critical, so parents looking for a game free of violence or bad taste might want to take a look". [5] Working Mother praised the game's motion-capture technology and the graphics. [6]
