Ice Climber

Finalmente, podemos concluir, que aunque Ice Climber queda lejos del podio de las plataformas de NES (algo que es bastante difícil, ya que la competencia es demasiado buena), el juego es una buena opción a la hora de jugar. Tiene la ventaja de un gran multijugador y, además, de ser lo suficientemente divertido como para mantenerte pegado a la consola jugando solo, buscando la mejor manera de escalar las 32 montañas. Todo un clásico.

Overall, Ice Climber is a very addictive platform game in which no story is needed to have a good time. If you can get used to the slippery controls and if you don't mind dying often, you'll be playing for hours on end with it's catchy theme song embedding it's way into your gaming brain. I've been religiously playing it since I can remember, and with it's current re-release on the GBA I can now be an Ice Climber addict outside of my own home!

Ice Climber's bright graphics are cute and arcade-like, but the droning background noise is monotonous. Even more annoying are the unforgiving controls. Jumping straight up is no problem, but jumping sideways enough to catch the next ledge is hard unless you have some momentum. Maybe that's just how the controls were designed, but that doesn't mean I have to like them. Ice Climber does offer two-player simultaneous play, but I didn't find it to be any better than the single player mode.
