This game is awesome! It has a great story, great action, really cool weapons, and great bio-augmentations (special powers).The only downsides are the length of the game and the health system. The levels are really detailed and fully destructible. And the outcome of the missions is up to you. For example you can take out a mech and then stealthely pick of all the enemies in the area. OR you can use a tool called the ice pick to control the mech and go rampaging around vaporizing all the enemies. I actually reccomend renting it first to see if you want to buy it. It is a really, really cool game.

Project: Snowblind....

Set in Hong Kong in the year 2065, Project: Snowblind follows 2nd Lt. Nathan Frost as he sets out on a mission to stop renegade forces from plunging the world into total darkness. Conquer 11 single-player scenarios across 16 maps as you explore such locations as an Opera House turned Prison, a Buddhist Temple converted into a Military Base, and other sprawling urban wastelands. Experience the dramatic intensity of the frontlines of war through the eyes of a new breed of super soldier. That, in itself, is what Project Snowblind is all about.

Made by Crystal Dynamics(the company that brought you the Legacy of Kain & Gex series), Snowblind is a FPS that grabs you by the short and curlies and never lets go. The action is brilliantly paced and that's what makes this FPS shine. Add to that, an array of technologically advanced superpowers-nanotechnological powers that include a slow time ability, a form of electrical shield, a better sight, and others- as well as an array of weapons normal to every FPS. The control is pretty good, environments are beautifully rendered and detailed, framerate is smooth, and the enemy AI is actually pretty decent.

The only downfall to Project: Snowblind is that it lacks charm and feels like your everyday FPS. Often feeling a bit generic as far as FPS go.

Yet, despite those downfalls, Snowblind more than makes up for it with a good storyline and fast-paced action. Crystal Dynamics did a wonderful job with its' presentation and production of the game, as always. It's definitely a must for all FPS fans.

Great Game, but don't expect to see anyone online

This game runs on a very smooth engine. The gameplay is solid and very fun. But after filling out an exhausting amount of personal information to register it online, I found that lo and behold! There is not a single soul online to play with. If you are getting this for online play, make sure you have some friends who plan on playing it with you from their house because there are no strangers on it!

I really like this game. I got the game for my birthday and I've been playing it since!

The game has tons of different enemies like robots and tanks and helicopters. There are also cars and stuff for you to drive around in!

My dad won't let me play online, but my friend say it's really fun!

I hope everyone else likes this game too!

AWESOME!

First off i wanna say wat is the deal with Halo 2? Why does everyone love it so much? its good but not over the top amzing like GTA! This game offers wat Halo 2 did and more. There's vehicles and tons of cool weapons, but the best part is your bio-augmentations, they give power-ups like invisibility, ballistic-shielding, slow-motion, night/heat vision, and electrical storm. You can also hack into computers and shut down security.It's also very challenging in a good way. It's fun and easy to pick up and play. However if you dont have an online connection rent it, cause single players fun but short. Online play is definately awesome and addictive, but we need more people to play. BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!

Good game.

I really don't recomend buying this game. I recomend renting it. Games are expensive and if its not great i dont suggest buying it. Or if it doesnt have high replay value or if it isnt a classic. Like mgs3, i gave it a four but still would recomned buying it cuz its a classic, has a great story, and ill definitly replay it. This on the other hand is an enoyable sit through. Its like a one night stand. You do it, you forget about it, thats all. Your never gonna see the her again(unless shes like a friend u did). This is what this game is, a good ride for the night.

Blindingly Boring

The game play on the PS2 version of this game was incredibly disappointing. The graphics are also a bit dated. There is just nothing about this game that makes it worth buying -- or even playing. If you want a great shooter that is just fun to play, stick with "Black."

Uhh what exactly is Project:SnowBlind?

As Nathan Frost, you're part of an elite special forces team in 2065 that's been sent in to put down a terrorist organization in China that calls itself the Republic. The action varries from an urban landscape to a wasteland, and the weapons from familiar rifles, pistols, and grenades to nanotechnology that allows you to become nearly invulnerable, invisible, and able to see in the dark. This is a first-person shooter with a credible storyline and some decent characterization and plotting. I got just as involved in the story as I did the action.

PROJECT SNOWBLIND was developed by Crystal Dynamics and released by Eidos. Crystal Dynamics has also developed the Legend of Kain series, the Gex series, and recently released TOMB RAIDER LEGENDS, the latest in the long-lived Lara Croft adventure series.

I really got into the game immediately. There was enough storytelling and world development to get me into the mood, and then I got plopped down into a battlefield and had to fight for my life. One of the things I quickly learned was to not try to Rambo it and do it all myself. I was leading a team, so I backed off, kept myself alive and picking off enemy soldiers, and started taking the levels pretty easily without constantly dying as I first was. Of course, then I was promptly blown up in a cut-scene I had no control over.

Thankfully, the military rebuilt me, made me better than I was, and sent me back to the war with nano-enhancements that made me a super-soldier. But the game stress upgraded too. Even with careful play, if I made a mistake or played too arrogantly, I paid for it.

The graphics in the game are good. The controls are fluid, and after a little while of working out how to bring everything into play, I was a super-soldier on the battlefield. The action swept through an urban arena that featured shootouts in the streets and in blown-up buildings. The superpowers that came along with the nano upgrade were a blast and easy to operate. But you have to keep your eyes open not only for the enemy, but for the upgrades, medkits, ammo, and energy packs. Not only do you get you use personal weaponry, but you also get to hook up behind some heavy artillery and drive vehicles.

When you play the game online, up to 16 players can join in, working as two-man teams.

I had a great time with PROJECT SNOWBLIND. I remember when it came out, but didn't pick it up because I hadn't heard that much about it. Evidently there wasn't much media push at the time, which is a shame because this is a game well worth playing if you like shooters or co-ops. Pick it up, have a great time, and keep your head down!

Best first person shooter I've played so far.

In this game, you'll get killed a lot. However, each time you're killed, it makes you want to try again immediately because you've thought of some new strategy or combination of weapons to use to get through your enemies. And that strategy works! Then it's on to the next part, where you'll get killed several times and immediately want to try again. It's positively addictive!

The coolest part are the weapons. One of them can fire a bolo type thing, with electronic balls held together with electricity. It hits your enemy and pummels him into submission. If there's not an enemy around, it bounces along beside you like a dog. So cool! Another weapon can clear everything out of a whole hallway - everything goes "whoosh" down to the far end. Another fires a ball of light that hovers above your enemies heads and zaps them with electricity. You also get grenades, a cool sniper rifle, rocket launcher, and another gun that can fire through walls. Enemies don't stand a chance!

The graphics in this game are great, though the environments could have been a bit more varied. You occasionally get control of a vehicle, which sort of sucked because the aiming system makes it very difficult to hit anything. You thought you could blast everything and everyone to smithereens, and instead you can barely hit one guy. Oh well, like I say, you'll only spend about 2% of your time controlling these things.

I'm afraid that as fun as this game was to play the first time, it had virtually no replay value. Once you've worked out the strategies to get past each group of guys, well, that's pretty much it. Still, it was a whole lot of fun to play and I'll give it four stars out of five.
