Unbound started off well enough with an easy-to-grasp premise and some above-average music, but the appeal soon dissipated thanks to a lack of depth in the concept and some technical problems.

Depending on the trajectory and on the type of line selected, the game implements a basic physics engine to determine whether or not the player's construction will lead to a checkered flag or a few broken bones. The challenge comes in via the player's discretion in choosing between three types of line: regular, speed-up, and slow-down. There are gaps in the surface he's riding on, and it's up to the player to fill in the holes to make sure that the sled gets where it's going.
