Do you love that old Super Mario game where you jump around on the platforms and battle your friends. You know, the one with the TNT brick in the middle of the level to bail you out if the enemies became too overwhelming. If you know what I am talking about, then you will love Snowy Bear. This game is very similar to that game, but adds a new and interesting element. Instead of jumping on top of enemies to destroy them, you throw snowballs at them until they become one giant snowball. Once you do this, you kick the snowball, which jumps around the level and takes out the other enemies in its path. What is cool about this is that you can beat the levels very quickly but most of the time it is much more challenging to be successful with this type of attack.
The simplicity of Snowy Bear makes it great. Even though this game has been done before, it feels new and interesting. It is definitely something I could play over and over. The music is also upbeat the fun, something that can be enjoyed by the whole family. I would definitely say that the coolest part of the game is discovering the cool upgrades that you get when you destroy giant presents that drop into the level. Besides giving you extra points, these presents often give you something else like an extra life or in one case a helicopter that allows you to fly around the entire level and attack your enemies that way. There are also boss levels at the end of the stages which are both challenging and a good change of pace from the regular game. This is one of those special games that you know are just plain fun. I give Snowy Bear five out of five stars.
