Darkbow returns to Xbla with the following review: Welcome to the Arctic, the home of all the free polar bears and now Globoco Inc. Headed by Mr Big, Globoco Inc and their army of trappers have kidnapped Polar's family and now threaten their peaceful land with big oil rigs searching for resources.
You may be playing as a cute polar bear, but really he is an almighty arctic warrior out for revenge and out to save his family. Polar starts off on a grid littered with ice cubes and Mr Big's fearless trappers. You are required to kill all enemies on the map by squashing them with blocks of ice. Once the foe has been crushed you can then head to the exit, however in a lot of the levels you will have the choice to bump up your score by saving your fellow polar bear friends.
A.J. says: "As Sony's first system capable of downloading games, the PlayStation 3 sure had a phenomenal library. Here, I count down ten buried treasures that you may not have heard of but are worth playing before you put your PS3 on Craigslist."
The jerky jerk-face Mr. Big and Globoco Inc. are destroying the arctic forests and are practicing off-shore oil-drilling without concern for the cute and cuddly wildlife or their environment. You may find yourself feeling as though you have transformed into Mr. Al Gore to save some polar bears. Your not just any polar bear, you play as a polar bear named Polar Bear. Okay, so our players parents weren’t too imaginative with the name, but does this ice cube-sliding action-puzzler have enough creativity to grab you and your cold hard cash?
Console Monster writes :"The premise behind Polar Panic is straight forward enough. Taking the role of Polar (the polar bear!) you must navigate your way around a maze saving your family and destroying the enemy in the process. To make things interesting the maze is filled with different types of blocks, from simple blocks of snow that require smashing, to explosive crates that require careful handling to ensure correct use. Being very snowy the floor is quite slippery, so pushing a block will generally set it off sliding in the direction pushed, making things a great deal more challenging requiring careful planning in order to ensure no mistakes are made."
