I've just rented Snow Blind today, it's not horrible but I'm not impressed. The graphics are nothing compared to the games I play today, such as Doom 3, Halo 2 or FarCry. It's not such a big deal since I care more about gameplay, but I guess I'm at the point where I need great graphics to pair up for good gameplay. I'm not sure if that's the case, but for FPS games, I need great graphics to really enjoy it for the gameplay to be a blast. I'm probobly on level 3, and for some reason, I already have one heck of an arsenal. I've got over 20 weapons by now--I'm barely into the game, that's kind of quick in my opinion.

I don't think that's a bad thing, but it's a nice idea to spread-out the weapons a bit more, something like Doom 3 or Half-Life 2. You'd find a weapon every now and then, spreaded along the maps to make it more fun, fresh and enjoyable. And besides, the character you are using in Snow Blind is some souped-up super soldier who was injected by some kind of antidote to make him powerfull again, he actually dies at one point at the begining--Don't worry, that's not a spoiler since it's something you'll seen as soon as you enter the game, no biggy.

While playing games like CS: Source or HL2: DM, I love seeing ragdoll. Now, when I turned out and tested-out Snow Blind, the ragdoll is nothing compared to those games that I had mentioned. I mean, you'll see a soldier fall down and twitch--That's it, that's all--Show's over--He's dead, bada bing. I didn't like this, it's just the thought of seeing a corpse going flying by, being smacked by a toilet from one side of the room to the other, smacking into a couple of explosive barrels and going head-into a ceiling that disapoints me. That's all seen in a game like DM, that's too bad...Even though it's by far not my favorite game, there's some neat features like picking up objects, climbing up fences, using a weapon to grab onto boxes from a distance, hacking into computers and what-not.

Overall, I'm giving Snow Blind a 7.9, it's not something I'd bother going deep into and / or renting again. Obviously, this proves my point that it's something that's not for buying, in my opinion.
