10 Snow Levels In Video Games That Will Satisfy Your Blizzard-Envy

At least in video games, blizzards come as promised.

1. Tundor Wastes from Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando

There is something about this level where you can go into the deep of the Tundor Wastes and fight for your survival against Y.E.T.I.s & Arctic Leviathans as you hunt for moonstones. There is something special in level that makes you want to explore more even though it constantly sends you running away with your tail between legs.

2. Battle of Hoth from Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire

You get to fight in the Battle of Hoth and kick-ass against imperial snowtroopers. What more can you ask for? Though the wampas can get very annoying.

3. Freezeezy Peak from Banjo-Kazooie

Freezeezy Peak takes the best parts of Christmas and puts them all into one level. With catchy Christmas tunes to climbing a giant snowman to sled races, this level is surely a winter wonderland.

4. Chill Penguin from Mega Man X

Besides having a very enjoyable theme, the Chill Penguin stage of Mega Man X is also a lot of fun. This is a fast-paced level that gets you nice and warmed up to defeat the rest of the Mavericks.

5. CliffHanger from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

This level had one of the coolest methods for stealth that I have seen in a FPS. As you have to use white out conditions caused by heavy snowfall to move around undetected. Even when your cover gets blown there is plenty of intense action to make you want to play again. Also, the ice climbing scene was very cool even though Soap did have to save you.

6. Heart of Ice from Uncharted 2

With a game full of great set pieces, Heart of Ice is one the best in Uncharted 2. It's packed with fun as you explore a majestic location that leads to one satisfying twist at the end.

7. Throat of the World from Skyrim

Throat of the World is the tallest peak in all of Skyrim and it leads to one of the best views in any game ever. Plus, you'll encounter lots of different things that want you dead before you can get to the summit.

8. Surface from Goldeneye 64

Rare / Via youtube.com

Even though the graphics haven't aged that well, this level has one of the best environments that I have ever seen in a video game level. With a large map to explore and plenty of duels with snipers, this level will stick with you for a long time—in fact, it probably already has.

9. Cool, Cool Mountain from Super Mario 64

Nintendo / Via youtube.com

Maybe it's just nostalgia, but this level is still cool. From sliding on ice to rescuing that baby penguin, this is one of those levels that makes you want to come back for more.

10. Ice Cap Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Sega / Via retrowaretv.com

You snowboard down a mountain as Sonic while listening to one of the best tunes from the 16-bit era. Enough said.
