The first time I played this, I started at 10pm. I played non-stop (unable to stop, to be more precise), and at 3am another member of my household mentioned that it was "so late." Thinking maybe it was 11 or 12 I looked at the clock and my jaw dropped to see that I'd been playing for 5 hours that flew by like less than an hour. This game is a great break from your high-intensity 360 launch titles, but even more, it's a break from everything. It's so engaging you can lose track of time and anything else going on. It's completely addictive and fun. When I finally went to bed, my final thoughts for the night (or, actually, morning) were about how much I looked forward to playing again the next day. Now this isn't a graphics powerhouse, it's a Marketplace arcade game, but it can hold it's own on the addictiveness scale with any game out there. The many levels are different, and require different strategy. Although every level is about clearing balls from the screen, the game never feels at all repetitive. Although it's fast-paced, it's more fun than flash, and it's a great game when you just want to relax and have a break from high-intensity games where you're being shot at or saving the world. And as for value, you can't beat it. This inexpensive arcade game is packed with fun and worth every penny and more. This game really will compete for your time with your high-budget, high-hype games.
