With the snow flying, at least in Canada where I live, it's fun to play games on the Cube that have a winter theme.
I thought it would be interesting if we could list all the games that have a winter level or are winter based.
The obvious winter games that come to mind:
- 1080 Avalanche
- ESPN International Winter Sports 2002
- SSX 3, SSX On Tour and SSX Tricky
- NHL 2K3
- NHL 2004, 20042005 and NHL 06
- NHL Hitz 20-02, 20-03 and Pro
I prefer SSX 3 over 1080 Avalanche. I haven't tried SSX On Tour or SSX Tricky yet.
The curling and bobsleigh events in ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 are pretty fun.
In terms of hockey games, I've played most of them and find NHL 06 to be the best. NHL 2K3 is a solid game but it lacks any frills and is hard to score.
I've played NHL Hitz 02 and 03 and like 02 better as 03 has some slowdown issues that I don't like.Not sure about the other Madden games but I know in Madden 04 you can adjust the weather and play in a snowstorm, that's cool (pun intended :)
Animal Crossing changes with the weather and in December you get snow and can roll up snowballs into snowmen.
A few games that have winter levels that I can think of:
- 4x4 EVO 2 has an unlockable Arctic Wasteland level.
- Mario Kart Double Dash has a snow level called Sherbert Land.
- Monster Jam Maximum Destruction has a snow village level.
- Timesplitters 2 has an ice station level.
- Timesplitters FP has a Siberia level.
- Worms 3D allows you to play in an adjustable arctic landscape.
What other winter games or levels are there that you know of?
