favourite ice/winter themed level?


Recommended Posts

hey guys... i just noticed that they have began putting up christmas trees downstairs, and this brought a thought to my mind...

what is your favourite snow/ice/frozen/winter theme levels from games? it could be the level design, a memorable moment, or in my case more often than not its the music....

ice cave - donkey kong country ... my first exposure to the concept of nice music in ice theme levels

ice cap zone - sonic 3 ... what made it stand out for me recently is how the original version of the background music sounds like Michael Jackson's 'Smooth Criminal'

ice cage - ace combat 5 ... very energetic, atmospheric and emotional

beaver mountains - carmageddon 2 ... well i just like this level because you could put your car down the tobogan sled

Uncharted 2 was nice.

Donkey Kong Country ice world was great too. Loved the level with the barrels. No idea why because it was freaking hard. :p The whole game was awesome. They should do a New Donkey Kong Country. :)

Ice world in Magic Pockets

Fire and Ice

Joe and Mac ice levels....

...anyone get the feeling i haven't played many games in years? :)

Oh my god! I have never met anyone that played Magic Pockets before! I used to go on and on about that game as a kid, but nobody had a clue what I was talking about.

I'm not sure why but Mario 64 is sticking out big time right now.

I'll chalk it up to nostalgia :p

Same here. Banjo - Kazooie also comes to mind.

Jeez, there has been so many - Can barely remember any of them.

The only map / level still fresh in my mind is Derail from MW2, really is an awesome map ( My favourite map in fact ) and the snow atmosphere is perfect.

Oh yeah... I especially liked the first snow world where you went down the large slide, saved the baby penguin, and crafted a giant snowman. The music was great too.

ahh yes, not just a snow level, but one with a soundtrack which is appropriately christmassy....

the other one i can think of is the gameboy colour version of Donkey Kong Country 3 ... it had music different from the original SNES version from almost 10 years ago, and the redone music for the ice levels are very christmassy... although its abit short, but i suppose thats how actual live music sounds like in snow covered towns etc....

Uncharted 2 - the whole sequence climbing up the train and through the wreckage and later in the ice caves are truly amazing.

This.

The best looking scene of any game I have ever seen- ever. Absolutely brilliant.

SSX!

and

Super Mario 64 The one where you slid down from the peak of the mountain... maybe this is the only snow level?

I also remember the SNES Star Wars game (Empire Strikes Back, I think?) having a snow level.

And the one on Gamecube blew my mind away graphically (I wasn't a PC gamer :p), I think it was a demo I saw at Wal-Mart or Best Buy.

Oh, and some Dr. Seuss demo on the PSX. Some TimeSplitters level had snow in it, also. :)
