Battle Dodgeball

[thordog]

Simply said: The funnest dodgeball game ever made.<BR>The graphics are simple, using the 2D side-to-side scrolling of the NES game Super Dodgeball. It wasn't anything impressive, or anything that hasn't been seen before, so I give graphics a 5. They weren't great, but they weren't displeasing to the eye.<BR>Gameplay is where it gets confusing. The game is amazingly fun to play with a friend, but it loses something for the non-Japanese reading persons of the world, as 80 percent of the game is written in Japanese. But, can you blame them? It's their language, for Christ's sake. Anyway, I give gameplay an 8, because this is one game that should be played by everyone who loved playing Super Dodgeball on the NES.<BR>Originality was at its best, when the game creators decided to make Battle Dodgeball a game that was a spin-off of the Gundam Generations series of games. I found it both fun and amusing when I learned I could play dodgeball with Gundams against alien creatures. There are few things in the world of SNES games that can top that. However, I'm giving the originality of the game a 7, because while its great, its only taking an old game and making it better.<BR>The music, sad to say, was nothing special. While it did add something to the Story Mode, none of which I understood (again, the Japanese language), it was slightly too cheerful for a game titled Battle Dodgeball. I give music a 4, because there are a few stage themes that are to my liking.<BR>Overall, the game gets a 6, because while the gameplay and overall fun of the game are high, it’s a little lacking without being able to understand Japanese.
