Monstrously Bad. Unforgiveably Broken. Just Plain Dumb.

There is nothing to reccomend this arcade entry, even if it were free. Slow and unresponsive controls hamper what would already be a bland and silly game to begin with. The only difference between this, and some poor-physics driven game you play on a 5 year old cellphone is the graphics. Did I mention that graphics are nothing to write home about too?

Technically, this game is so broken in terms of it's core mechanics (throwing and dodging balls) that mentioning its awful sound, weak graphics, pitiful online gameplay, and more is somewhat pointless. Frankly, any review of this game should be more a warning against purchase, than a serious examination of the merits the game does NOT have.

As a nod to form however, here's the deal: you play as a bobble headed avatar in one of a few ugly environments, and use pitiful physics and controls to play dodgeball. That's it. If that fills you with longing, for the love of god, at least do the free trial first to let your hopes down slowly. IF you buy it, well... I wouldn't expect to enjoy a lasting online community.
