A cute little game that obviously takes its inspiration from a similar-sounding Blizzard blockbuster, SnowCraft is a fast and furious action game that features very smooth graphics, simple yet addictive gameplay, and that magical “just one more level” appeal. The goal is simple: win a snowball fight by maneuvering 3 little kids. The user interface is very intuitive– you can move your little troops around, and even adjust the power of the snowball just by clicking and holding mouse button. The first battle pits your team against 3 opponents, but as you win more battles, you face more opponents who are more adept at avoiding your snowballs, so only action experts will be able to win the first few battles. With attractive graphics and addictive yet simple gameplay, SnowCraft may not be the ultimate stocking-filler, but it’s ideal for whiling away a few minutes during coffee break… especially when it’s snowing outside. Two thumbs up!
