Sled Storm received favorable reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Sled Storm significantly expanded on the number of features found in Road Rash and was one of the few racing titles for the original PlayStation to include four-player support through a PlayStation Multitap and feature split-screen action with more than two players. They could be played with day, night, sunny, and snow settings to make each race experience slightly different. The courses were extensively produced as they contained many shortcuts and alternate routes to complete a level. Both also feature cash prizes that allow the player to purchase faster vehicles. Both titles rely on fast-paced racing with a number of hazards placed in the player's path and include the ability to ram opponents off the track. While the environments and vehicles are completely different (motorcycles versus snowmobiles and the open road versus alpine courses), there are several similarities. The extreme racing element of Sled Storm derived from an earlier Electronic Arts game called Road Rash.

The first game in the Sled Storm series was released on the PlayStation video game console. In addition, the included soundtrack features songs from the likes of Rob Zombie, Econoline Crush, Überzone, E-Z Rollers and Dom & Roland. The game includes support for the DualShock Analog Controller to offer both analog control as well as vibration feedback while racing. Players can also save unlocked characters, upgraded sleds and circuit progress using a memory card with one block free. Finally, the multi-player perspective can be set to either a portrait or landscape view to show more or less of the screen while racing. The AI can also be tweaked by toggling "Catch Up Logic", meaning the CPU-controlled racers will move faster once the player passes them. After completing a few circuits, the player is able to mix and match the unlocked courses to form a custom championship. After the Time Trials, there are a number of customizable features to tailor the game to individual preferences. Sled Storm also features a Time Trials mode, in which the player races to earn a spot on the leader board for the fastest time. Earning enough points unlocks additional playable characters The Super SnoCross involves racing strictly for points earned by performing tricks on motocross-inspired courses. Cash may then be used to purchase upgrades such as treads, skis, brakes and spotlights. The Open Mountain Championship involves straightforward racing down alpine terrain to receive a cash prize for winning. Two types of championship racing are available: Open Mountain and the Super SnoCross. Championship Mode involves competing in a series of races to earn money as well as open up additional tracks and hidden characters. After selecting a character, the player can set the number of laps (from two to nine), time of the race (day or night), and even the weather conditions (clear, snow or rain). The player selects from a pool of characters, each with a unique sled rated in five areas: top speed, acceleration, handling, stability and tricks. Quick Race allows the player to play any of the available courses unlocked during the Championship Mode. Sled Storm offers two forms of racing for both multi-player and solo competition: Championship and Quick Race. After defeating the mountain races, the player can unlock the storm sled, which is a thin, quick and agile sled capable of outracing even the fastest standard sleds. It is also possible to multi-combo on higher jumps to gain an even higher score. The combination of buttons used determines what trick is performed.
A trick feature may be performed by using two shoulder buttons in combination with the direction pad. The game has purchasable upgrades for the riders' snowmobiles which can improve handling, acceleration, and more.
