To me, it's surprising more people didn't do this.
Quite a fun minigame, I must say. Avatar Wave: Snowball Fight is the first in a series of Avatar games, and like many firsts in a series, it is smashing. Addictive and fun with friends, your Avatar is the star. In an unnamed village, you duke it out with the CPU, your friends, your enemies, and people on XBOX Live. Arcade mode takes a feeling of Super Smash Bro's Classic mode, going through one person, then two, etc. Versus mode allows you to take on the computer and other people around your house -split screen w00t!- in 1vs1, 2vs1, 2vs2, or 3vs1 (which is virtually impossible.) Power-ups are along the lines of better throwing power, gathering is faster, one snowball thrown turns into three in the air, etc. The health bar is a thermometer telling how your "body heat" is. You don't die, you just freeze when your heat is lost. To collect heat, get the coffee and pizza power-ups. The other food items just give points and bring up heat slower. The screensaver mode allows you to choose the camera angle of the village, the snow, the snow density, and what music is playing (my favorite is Techno Bells.) then enjoy. Secret mode is ervqwcvscvqw vqwefvsavqvw3v3qwvf, which I think is funny. The only complaints I have are the Avatar mechanics. The clothes go through each other at places, and the moving seems rigid (especially when he anatomically waves to the crowd). Also, you only have one map to duel on, which is just a snowfield split in two by a string of ornaments. So the enemy can hit you while you are collecting snow. Other than that, this is a


Concept: Snowball fight with our Avatars! Wow...... 8/10
Graphics: Avatars glitch a lot, but the snow and the village equals it out 8/10
Sound: Christimas classics play while you pelt Gamertag123 with a snowball 10/10
Playability: Easy controls and good visuals help this. 9/10
Entertainment: Honestly, who doesn't love pelting their friends with balls of snow? 10/10
Replay: Loses its luster if you play for 2 hours. A nice pick-up-and-play game 8/10
Overall: If you have 240 MS points lying around, here's a way to spend it. Very fun and addictive 8.83/10
