'Snow' (Xbox/PC) Cancelled?

by Rainier on May 29, 2006 @ 12:45 p.m. PDT

Not heard from since E3 2005, Take Two Germany has confirmed that Frog City Software's controversial drug-running action game Snow has been cancelled. In Snow, you play a street thug working your way up the drug smuggling chain to become a kingpin, taking out enemies left and right as you make your way across the border with your "goods." We hope to get confirmation from Take Two North America after the holiday weekend.

The user takes on the persona of Johnny Morrell, an out of work actor who has given up his dreams of stardom to acquire wealth through drug smuggling. He's managed to line up a pot supplier in Mexico and somehow convinced an old friend of his to distribute the goods for him in Los Angeles. He's also charmed a stewardess he met at a party who wants to earn some extra cash on the side and so he gives her the orders to do the inaugural pot smuggling mission for him. His team is in place but does he have what it takes to turn this small time operation into something big?

In Snow, you become a drug kingpin who earns fame and fortune selling illegal goods across the United States. As an up and coming drug lord you can order various characters to procure, smuggle and ultimately distribute "the goods" for you. You build structures like corrupt law firms and money-laundering nightclubs to compete for greater market share against your rivals. You also will need to "take out" certain key enemies in order to protect your interests and further expand your growing drug empire.
