Ice Rage Android Review

Hockey is a very difficult game to play. Thereโ€™s skating, precision, and aggression needed. Also, itโ€™s cold. Because of ice. But is there a way to experience the thrills of the game without actually exercising? Of course there is! Otherwise I wouldnโ€™t have started this review so sloppily. With Ice Rage, a hockey game for Android devices, you need not worry any longer about missing out on the action of ice sports. So letโ€™s take a look at Ice Rage for Android devices.

The Basics

Like I said, Ice Rage is a hockey game. However, itโ€™s more of an arcade-style hockey game, with only two players on the ice and two goalies. โ€œSo, if thatโ€™s the case, why is it so special?โ€ you ask me in a hypothetical manner. Well, letโ€™s start with one of the more charming aspects of this game: the characters. You get a few generic-looking characters available, but thereโ€™s also a zombie, a ninja, a bear, and a moose. I assume youโ€™ve already downloaded this game after reading this, but Iโ€™ll go on.

The Gameplay

The controls of Ice Rage are pretty simple. You get a small digital joystick and action button, and thatโ€™s it really. The action button is mainly for shooting, but can also be used to knock opposing players over (without the risk of penalties I might add.) I guess thatโ€™s where the โ€œrageโ€ in Ice Rage comes from. And the ice is what you skate on. But you probably already knew that.

Is It Fun?

Ice Rage is a very good game. When I first downloaded it I figured I was in for another generic sports game adventure. However, once I got playing I was instantly hooked. I was also beating my opponents with ease at first – until I realized there was more than one difficulty. Letโ€™s just say I wasnโ€™t quite ready for the big leagues. One thing I found a bit strange was the way you unlock characters. Instead of unlocking them through challenges, you simply watch a quick ad to unlock them. Not that Iโ€™m complaining – If it takes a thirty second ad for me to finally be able to play as a moose, I say sign me up.

The Bottom Line

Ice Rage was an unexpected treat. The gameplay is fun, albeit challenging when youโ€™re doing anything but Easy mode. The characters are pretty varied and charming as well. While it doesnโ€™t feel quite as satisfying to simply watch an ad to unlock them, being able to play as a zombie is well worth it.
