Fire & Ice

Renegade and Andy Braybrook should take pride in the packaging and design of this programme. The graphics are fantastic, despite the unbelievability of their cute canine character.

Fire and Ice is a must for platform addicts and the cuteness of the whole package should definitely go down very well with a wide audience. It may very well become a classic.

The Arctic, as we all know, is a freezing cold place. In fact, this land is not dissimilar to the land from which our hero comes in the latest Renegade game.

This is one of the best platform games I've seen on the Amiga. It's extremely playable, the graphics are nothing short of fantastic, and there are so many great ideas and smart touches throughout that u need to have an extremely keen eye to notice them all. Despite its slightly 'kiddie' look, Fire And Ice is extremely challenging, and, once you've completed it, you can always go back and attempt to find all the secret levels.

f you're into high quality games bursting with visual ecstasy which offer hours of fun without frustration, you should definitely consider getting this game.

Fire And Ice is a great game, easily the best platformer I've played in a long time. If it had been a tad faster, then all would have been perfect, but that's no real criticism - just wishful thinking. No, an adventure with Cool Coyote comes highly recommended.

Perhaps the best compliment which can be paid in the revisited section is the fact that this fine game has been around for quite some time, but surprisingly doesn't yet look dated. And that's a hearty recommendation indeed.

It's getting a little overcrowded in the console-styling platform games area, but Fire & Ice holds its own - partly down to the unparalled attention to detail and excellent level design. Sure, there're shades of other games in there, but the end result has a refreshing identity all its own. Great fun.

Fire and Ice is well put together, but slightly behind its time. No fresh ideas are explored in this game so it loses its appeal very quickly.

Keine Frage, Fire and Ice ist ein Traum von einem Platformspiel! Wir können es kaum erwarten, bis uns Andrew seine Ballerkunste an "Uridium II" demonstriert - eine Neuauflage des 64er-Hammers hat er nämlich gerade in Arbeit..

Wunderbar! Andrew Braybrooks neuester Geniestreich: Fire and Ice - das 92er Nonplusultra in Sachen Amiga-Jump'n'Run. Die famose Steuerung des Coyoten, die faire Kollisionsabfrage sowie verschiedene intelligente Gegner lassen den Spieler nicht mehr los. Vom allerersten Anspielen sollte man sich jedoch nicht täuschen lassen. Die erste halbe Stunde macht Fire and Ice eine gute Figur, entpuppt sich als solides Jump'n'Run. Die wahren Leckerbissen und Qualitäten setzt das Programm jedoch erst bei genauerem Betrachten frei. Nach mehrstündigem "Gassi-Gehen" hat man sich schlichtweg verliebt. An besonders kniffligen Stellen rutschte mein Finger, nach Abgabe des letzten Lebens, sogar zum Reset-Knöpfchen. Ein geruhsamer Fernsehabend wollte sich jedoch nicht einstellen. Ständig zuckten Finger und Beine in Richtung Amiga - Fire and Ice lauerte schon im Diskettenschacht. Die Motivation, es nochmal zu probieren ist übermächtig, und so ertappt man sich beim neuerlichen Einschalten des Rechners.

The graphics are beautifully drawn, Cool is smooth and controllable - he has a gun which fires ice pellets and it works great in the cold countries, but not so good in warmer climates. The levels are both interesting and varied and there's plenty of humour for those that like that sort of thing. One of the best platformers available for that machine.

Wie schon auf dem Amiga macht Fire & Ice nach wie vor grandiosen Spaß, ohne jedoch die Genialität des Originals zu erreichen. Keine aufgebohrte Grafik und ein nicht gerade augenschonendes Scrolling werten leider ab. Jump'n'Run-Freunde, die einen PC besitzen, müssen zulangen – alle anderen werden etwas enttäuscht sein.

A bit expensive for a two-year-old, but a more than welcome addition to the already-growing ranks of CD32 platformers.

Still, this is one of TecToy's better games and tons better than Battlemaniacs. I recommend this if you are looking for a new platform game to try, but if you need something fresh and innovative there are better games that are more exciting.

Grafiken är bra med fina färger, även om den är lite grov på vissa ställen. Ljudet är okej, men inget att skriva hem om, musiken går tack och lov att stänga av. Fire & Ice är ett bra plattformsspel till PC och har du inte redan James Pond 2 är detta verkligen något att titta närmare på.

Wenn Sie gute Jump-and-Runs schätzen, sind Sie mit der PC-Version von Robocod weitaus besser bedient. Fire & Ice ist zu nett, um es völlig zu verdammen und zu dürftig, um dafür viel Geld auszugeben.

If you're desperate to play the daring adventures of a cool coyote, this is probably your only choice. That's a shame too. There's a lot that could be done in the cool coyote genre and it has yet to be done justice. With the right programmers, budget, and time, maybe someday the cool coyote will get his due credit. Until then, you'll have to live with this and try and make it past level four.
