What Parents Need to Know
This review of Project: Snowblind was written by Raffi Kevorkian
Parents need to know that although many of the targets are robots, most of the enemies are humans whose covered faces make them resemble the robots. The effect is dehumanizing. The game's goal -- to "save the world" -- makes it easier to justify the action.
Families Can Talk About
Talk to your kids about the media in their life. We have more tools and tips that can help
- Families can talk about whether shooting targets that don't look like people makes fighting easier, and why. With older teens, you may want to talk about how prisoners of war often have their heads covered when they are apprehended. Is this a good or bad idea? Is it realistic for one person to be in the position to save the world? What other cultural heroes have that mission (Superman, etc.)? Why does this trope exist in our culture?

What’s the Story?
PROJECT: SNOWBLIND takes place in 2065 in Hong Kong in the year 2065. An insane general with plans for world domination has taken over. Enter the International Army's Lt. Frost, a bio-enhanced soldier who, while stranded behind enemy lines, must save the world.
As one of many soldiers fighting off an attack force, your introduction into Frost's world is intense. You must figure out how to use weapons such as grenades, machine gun/grenade launcher, pistol, etc. during the heat of realistic battle scenes. Just when the controls and equipment begin to feel familiar, your character is nearly killed -- and this is where the game truly begins. By the end of a game, Frost has acquired a long list of weapons and special skills, including five or six types of blasters, at least four types of grenades, invisibility, ballistic armor, and so on.
CloseIs It Any Good?
Some of the game's interesting features include the ability to slow time for other players and shoot lightning, and grenades with special uses like one that turns into a spider-like robot that intercepts fire and attacks foes. Artificial intelligence is sophisticated: Enemies lie in wait, trap, and stalk you and are quick to pick up on your presence and attack, even from a distance. The environments are both haunting and beautiful, and there is a battlefield quality to in-city fighting. The only weak parts are the driving sequences.
Make no mistake: This game is about shooting and blowing up just about everything you see, but it isn't quite as violent as many games in the genre. There is blood when you shoot someone, but it is hardly noticeable. And while the game does assume military duty and honor is more important than life -- an intense concept for younger players -- Frost is fighting for good. Overall, this is a fun and addictive game with details that set it apart from the pack.

Good stuff.
Project: Snowblind is a fantastic shooter. The graphics are alright, but it's the gameplay that sells it. With an array of at least 15 weapons and gadgets, the possibilities really test your imagination. There is no blood and gore in this game, but there is constant shooting, and you can punch someone about ten feet from where they were standing with your bio-enhanced arms. When I played through the game, I caught only one mild sexual reference (There might be more programmed into the game, as some of the lines only appear by talking to different characters.) during the first level. A Coalition soldier (one of the good guys) was wondering aloud if he could "do the deed" once he had the operation done. (The operation, of course, being the bio-enhancement of First Lieutenant Nathan Frost, who was surgically repaired after an explosion on the battlefield.) Drugs and alcohol are nonexistent, and there's no commercialism except for the names of stores on buildings- but the game is set in 2065, so it's not like Coke and stuff. All in all, this is a really fun game and okay for around ages 11+.

This is an ordinary, FPS game
This is worth playing through once. The storyline is less than captivating, but the graphics are fine.

futuristic first person shooter
This game is probably the best first-person shooter on the PS2. You play as this guy who almost dies in a future war and is made better buy these super human power things. you can slow time, create a shield around you, zap enemys with electricity, and turn invisible. language isnt a problem, but the violence kind of is. there is blood when you shoot people. its just a little cloud of it that disapears. thats the only bad part of the game. The weapons are awsome. they look all futuristic. Probably dont buy, but RENT IT FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!

Exciting
It is action packed. There is a lot of dying in it. There really isn't any educational value. Its hard at first, figuring out the uses of the guns.
