Overview: When I first started this game, I was really confident that it would be an "in and out" sort of game in a few days, or a week tops. I was very wrong. Frozen Free Fall: Snowball Fight is a ftp game, and the goal is to make a match of three or more to clear levels. Thrown into that are levels where you have to "clear all ice from the board", "remove all wolves from the board", and others along that same line. There is a multiplayer option, however the multiplayer is only available on the same system; no online challengers for those who like that. In multiplayer you still make matches however your goal is to win against the opponent by either throwing more snowballs than they do, or to have that opponent "frozen."
Game play: There isn't much to it, you use the control pad and the x button to switch the blocks to create a match. You can attain either a one, two, or three star rating based on your score. The game goes smooth for the most part; the only problem I have had is the "unlimited lives" glitch. Instead of the standard five lives I would seemingly have unlimited lives if I failed a level. Upon closer examination I noticed that the load out would not reshuffle, and I would be locked into the same first few moves. The fix that has worked for me is to simply close the application and open the game to continue. The lives don't catch up, so you have the same amount of lives you started with, but multiple restarts might be required.
Personal thoughts: While the game was fun the first couple of days, I could really feel the pressure to buy power ups, lives, etc for certain levels that took hours to complete. In my opinion, a free to play game should offer the store as a perk, not as a means to obtain your trophies. I haven't spent anything on the game at all, and I don't plan to. It takes more than 20 levels to unlock characters, which makes it difficult to play multiplayer to obtain the trophy where you have to beat an opponent with ten different characters. Keep in mind, the game only offers eleven. The counter for the game does not exist; one of your trophies here is that you have to play 50 multiplayer matches, which means you have to play this game upwards of FOUR HOURS straight to obtain the trophy. And honestly, the fun times have long past for this game. Not to mention the soundtrack. If you love hearing the same tune, repeated, for hours on end while you play than you've hit the jackpot. There are only two tunes for the whole game. This trophy set is not easy, and has no platinum. I regret downloading this game.
