Bonus points rain down when you defeat every enemy in one shot. This makes chasing down a high score interesting as it starts to really feel like it takes some skill to continue maximizing score.

I feel like each time I play through a level after World 3, I feel a little overwhelmed with trying to survive the level rather than trying to optimize for killing as many enemies as possible with a single snowball. Early levels are easy to optimize for points, but things are much trickier as the game progresses, which is where the game is starting to become interesting for me. Each level has a static, predictable layouts and enemy placements. Something I really like about this game is I feel like I’ve got responsive control over my character at pretty much all times, which is an essential feature of a game where chasing high scores is the main point.Īt the end of the day, I’ve found myself chasing down high scores in Snow Bros. The player moves around at a quick pace and it feels good to be able to drop through floors (a feature missing in the original Snow Bros). The first that that makes this game stand out as something that’s worth your time is the fact that it actually feels great to play. 2: With New Elves is by no means a perfect game, but if you own an iiRcade, it’s one that’s worth adding to your library regardless. That being said, I’m glad a sequel exists. Based on my experience with both the arcade version and the NES version, I can’t imagine it was highly successful in the arcades. I’m not sure how either a sequel OR home ports of the original Snow Bros. 1 didn’t execute on that formula particularly well, which is probably why I’m genuinely surprised that the second one is actually enjoyable. It’s a standard issue, basic arcade formula. You also fight bosses every so often as well. When you clear all the enemies out of each single-screen stage, you move onto the next one. If you’re unfamiliar with Snow Bros., it’s essentially an arcade game where you’re throwing globs of snow at enemies to turn them into a giant snowball and then kicking the snowballed enemy into as many other enemies as possible. Other than being an obnoxiously expensive game to add to your NES or Mega Drive collection, they’re not worth writing home about. The original game and its NES port feel like clunky versions of Bubble Bobble.
