They jump, they fall, they break ice, let me introduce to you the Ice Climber!
(? out of 5) Story: I can't really rate the story if the game has NO story in it whatsoever. I'll make one up, hmmmmmm. Two midgets, uh Peepee and uh Nanny go up a mountain by breaking blocks of ice, whacking animals, and uh thats it. BOOORING!
(1 out of 5) Gameplay: Seriously, this was just a joke. If the WHOLE entire game revolved around jumping, wouldn't your first thought be that the jumping would be flawless or at least well done? I thought that too and I was dead wrong. Breaking blocks of Ice is fairly easy, but jumping onto the next platform can be the most difficult challenge you will ever face. Its not because the platform is hard to reach, its because when you jump or try to jump onto the next platform your Peepee or Nanny or whatever go right through the platform. RIGHT THROUGH! Now thats just wrong, its frustrating and it can be annoying. Scratch that, IS ANNOYING! How do people expect you to get to the top of a mountain when you are always jumping through the next platform!
(4 out of 5) Graphics: I wouldn't really know how to rate this game on graphics, I haven't really played any NES games, but I have looked at other NES games such as Donkey Kong and to tell you the truth, this game has better graphic quality then most other games. (2 out of 5) Sound: The lack of music, the lack of great sound effects, its all missing. Especially compared to Super Mario Bros. Ice Climber is a game gone bad in sound. Can't say anymore than that.
Overall: This game was pathetic, mostly the gameplay made it pathetic, and also the sound, and................... EVERYTHING ELSE! The good graphics can't help the game alone, there is just nothing else to support it. Just like Lair on the PS3 hahahaha!
