Graphics: 6 out of 10
Sound: 6 out of 10
Gameplay: 6.5 out of 10
Hardness factor: 4 out of 10
Overall: 6.5 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics in this game are very nice. There's a bit of detail
in the enemies, and they look really original. The stages need to be worked
on a bit, but some of the designs are very good.
Sound: I actually really liked the music in this game. It just fit the theme
of the game so well and even the sound effects were done well. There's not
a huge variety in both the music and sound effects, so the sound does get
old, but not for a while.
Gameplay: This is a cool arcade game that is a lot like Bubble Bobble, but
instead of killing everyone by blowing bubbles at them, you throw accumulating
snow at them, and then roll them to the bottom of the level. If there is
another enemy in the way, they get hit and leave an item. If you get caught
in the snowball, you'll just roll around a bit until you jump out, which is
really cool.
Hardness factor: This game is a lot easier compared to the arcade version
(and NES version). The controls are just very good and the response time
is great. Enemies don't vary much in this game, unfortunately, but they
do get hard towards the end of the game.
Overall: 6.5 out of 10. This game is really good. If you don't want to go out
and buy the arcade cabinet, I'd recommend this game if you find it somewhere cheap.
