   Game Review: Project Snowblind POST BY -Wes-

This is my review of Project Snowblind for the PS2. You start off as Second Lieutenant Nathan Frost. After you try saving a fellow coalition soldier from sure death by a bomb dropped from a republic chopper you end up receiving Bio-enhancements in order to stay alive. That’s where it gets interesting. In the first three levels alone you receive a Carbine, Pistol, Kinetic Kicker, Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, and Sniper. That’s only a few of the weapons. Throughout the game you’ll receive special augmentations from your bio-enhanced body such as Infrared Vision, Ballistic Shielding, Invisibility, and an Electric Storm that homes in on enemies and terminates them. Also you get Fragmentation Grenades, EMP’s (electro-magnetic-pulse), Flash bangs, Gas Grenade, Riot Walls, and awesome little Spiderbots that seek and destroy enemies with lasers on their heads. One of the best parts of the game is all the things you can interact with. You can drive most every vehicle except destroyed or occupied ones. You can pilot a walking missile launcher on legs called an Ogre. In Snowblind they’ve allowed you to pick up IV stands, boxes, wheelchairs, crates and more. One of my favorite parts about the game is they’ve allowed you to hack turrets, attacking robots, computers, and your own spiderbot and use them, instead of putting yourself in the battle. My favorite Weapon in the entire game has to be the Flechette gun. The basic fire (R1) shoots a series of electric bullets at your opponent, the alternative fire (my favorite)(R2) shoots out a series of little electric balls that seeks out enemies and shocks them to death, you can just stand by and watch as they yell “Get them off of me”. This game is incredibly short, for the one player storyline that is. The only Boss in the game is incredibly short and you can just let the Flechette gun’s alternative fire do all the work. Another downside is that there is no local multiplayer. You must have the internet adaptor to do anything else with project snowblind besides the single player storyline. The graphics are pretty damn good and the storyline is short but makes sense. Overall I give this game a 4 out of 5 stars. Now for my favorite part of the review, hints and codes. In the second level where you’re walking around the complex near where you go to talk with the General (or whatever rank he is) you’ll encounter the icepick. Usually when you shoot people there they’ll just yell but they’ll be alright the icepick allows you to kill them, be careful you only have two.
