Snake Rattle n Roll is one of the more action-packed isometric action adventures ever made.  Some people find it very difficult to control the snakes as they make diagonal jumps required in some of the levels (even some of the early ones).  Once you get the hang of it, however, you and your 2nd player can have a good time with this title.  

The story is not told much at all in-game, gameplay consists of your snake characters journeying to the end of bizarre and wacky levels, avoiding enemies such as tires, bells, flat tires, and dismembered feet (bigfoot!).  To open the end of level door your snake must be adequately long to ring the bell when the snake stands on a scale that weighs the snake.  To increase the length of your snake you must avoid getting it too much and eat these little creatures who look like little balls and behave differently in each level.  In some levels they are fish, in others they sprout helicopter propellers, etc.  

The graphics are great, it's always easy to see the colorful world and the wacky enemies.  Everything in the game really feels like it belongs there, nothing feels out of place, which is a nice graphical accomplishment in such a bizarre environment.  The music is really well done, fittingly with the title each level has its own up-beat boogie music to keep things fun (with the exception of some much later levels, when the music sounds a bit ominous).

The problem with the game is that, due to the isometric perspective and the requirement to adeptly navigate jumps and to aim the snake to eat the creatures, the play control is not what I would call accessible.  If you wanted to play the game 2 player with a youngster or a non-hardcore-gamer the chances that they would have fun are very low.  However, on the plus side, if you have an adept video-gamer to play 2-player-style with, you will both be in for a big challenge, especially if you intend on beating the game.  

Snake Rattle n Roll is worth a look and those ready to tackle its challenges will be rewarded with a wacky, fun adventure.
