Project Snowblind

If you’re looking for a solid FPS and you can get past the dated graphics I highly recommend renting Snowblind. At first glance the game looks like your standared run and gun FPS. But the game actually does a really good job of setting itself apart from a lot of other FPS. And one of the ways the game does this is by giving you a number of different abilities ranging from thermal vision to slow-mo to, name a couple. You have an energy bar below your HP bar which lets you use your abilities. It’s a neat idea that gives the game a different feel then a lot of other FPS. Another thing that sets the game apart from other FPS is the games flow of the game. None of the games levels feel forced or like they were just thrown in as fillers. The games doesn’t feel too short or long when you finish the game you feel like the game was just the right length. Snowblind has a better story then your average FPS. It’s nothing that hasn’t been seen before, but it gives the game another layer and helps make the action more enjoyable. The controls are as good as your going to get for a FPS out side of Mouse and keyboard or Wii. The only thing That hasn’t held up well over the years are the graphics they look like cr#$ when compared to 360/PS3 games. But if you can forgive that I think most FPS fan will find Snowblind to be a solid rent.<br>Be safe all and happy gaming.<br>

Project Snowblind is a first person shooter that takes place in the future (which gives it a very sci-fi aspect). You play as Nathan Frost, who gets severely injured and enhanced with bio-chemical upgrades during the surgery to save his life. The powers, such as ballistic shielding, invisibility, electric shock, and reflex boost are very cool and add a very fun twist into the game. Along with the powers you have a wide variety of weapons and grenade types that are really cool. The graphics and storyline are good and enemy and friendly AI are both pretty decent. There is a feature in the level design that I preferably liked, which is a marker that shows you where to go if you ever get lost. The game's downfall is that sometimes the levels would get annoying and it was difficult to switch between grenades and powers in the heat of battle. Besides that I was disappointed that the multiplayer aspect was limited to system link and XBOX Live; I would have enjoyed playing this game against my friends on a local connection. Overall this game really delivers a fun experience and I recommend a rent. I give it an 8, out of 10.

first of all Deus Ex is probably one of the best games of all time that said PS should seriously not be even considered similar to DE in fact it is a much faster and chaotic battlefield counterpart to what Eidos had accomplished with DE and DEIW. When you first start out in PS you might find yourself thinking that you are playing a standard and graphically sub par arcade shooter. But if you are patient and bare through the opening level than you will find out that PS is so much deeper than what meets the eye. You will find a shooter that combines tactics and strategim with chaotic twitch based gunplay where you will use bionic augmentations to kill and outmanuever hordes of enemy AI in harmonuous battles of speed and wit. The AI of PS will not blow you away in fact they really don't hold up to modern gaming standards at all, for instance often you will have baddies that will just stand still out in the open and fire at you and at the same time some AI will actually take cover and try to outsmart and flank you these two conflicting sub ruotines can really chop up the flow of gameplay and take you, the gamer out of the experience. The graphics of PS are seriously out dated which actually makes sense considering they are using a four year old engine but the graphics can seriously become a bit of an eyesore as you are blasting through a rather lengthy campaign where you will be staring at the same texture found in DE which even back then were pretty bad over and over again. The Controls of PS arent bad at all, they actually make a lot of sense but often scrolling through multiple interface windows in the middle of a firefight can become tiresome especially when navigating this window interface is already a clunky ordeal, all the onscreen bars and gages clutter the screen often.<br>But all of this is overlooked by the fact that PS is simply ingenious in its hybrid concept of mixing the RPG-esque augmentation and leveling system of DE with frenetic battlefield action.

Project Snowblind is like a shooter version of Deus Ex. If you never play that game, its worth buying. Well, Project Snowblind has a decent, unique selection of weapons. The main character, Nathan Frost, is a superhuman that has special abilities can turn an impossible situation into the easiest. He can turn invisible, slow down time, and send a surge of electricity to an enemy. Its very realistic from the emp attacks. If he is struck by an emp attack, the screen frizz up and returns slow from his electronic upgrades. This is a definite must buy.

Good game with good game play, unfortunately for me this game was not long enough. I finished it in under 2 days.

Honestly, this game is sure to please.<br />there are many weapons and gadgets to use (all with two ways of firing) and the game is loaded with levels both mysterious, and exciting.<br /><br />You may find yourself throwing the controller back at the console, but frankly that would be a waste of time. the levels are difficult but once mastered, they can be al sorts of fun!<br /><br />there aren't very many differentiating vehicles to use, but there are parked cars you will have a choice of driving. I'll tell yah, that was probably the best thing about this game, the sheer variety of equipment usable by you. Nothing says awesome like plowing straight into a republican soldier! And nothing will ever be as fun as riding a Ogre ( Republican vehicle)!
