Project: Snowblind

Project: Snowblind - Xbox

The makers of Snowblind were....snowblind.

This has to be the worst games to come out in recent history. I would prefer the graphics of the first Silent Hill game on PS1 then this thing. The graphics look almost cartoony. Some of the helicopters in the opening sequence looked cell-drawn. The lighting is so poor that there is very little sense of depth. For a 3D game that is a crime. But, my major peeve of this game is the constant interruption of gameplay by cheesey shorts showing giveaways like an incoming enemy chopper. Besides the fact that I don't want the approach of enemy ships telegraphed - hello, surprise is 90% of the point of games - I certainly don't want to sit through a poorly rendered clip in the meantime. In its current magazine ad for this game they quote OPM, "Sheer graphical beauty". That's debatable. Well, suffice it to say, I couldn't handle the incessant interruptions long enough to make it through the first level. Thank God I only rented this game. My advice to Eidos; if you're gonna create a constant barrage of interruptions during gameplay at least make them pleasant to watch.
