    Babel Rising is a solid buy, through and through...as long as you're not expecting a solid Kinect experience.

    This isn't a bad game at all, but its relatively low score is more a reflection of how much gaming bang you get for your buck. It's just not quite worth the ten dollars it costs on XBLA-especially considering you can get pretty much the same game for five on Google Play. Babel Rising is mostly saved by its multiplayer options.

    Cool concept and good ideas, but Babel Rising doesn't deliver any long-term enjoyment.

    Babel Rising is an unfortunate mix of interesting mechanics and poor design. It's fun in fits and starts, but finishing a level yields a sense of relief rather than achievement. Count us among the non-believers.

    A idéia do jogo é boa mas falta mais detalhes como combinação de poderes e mais niveis ou uma opção do estilo crie seus níveis e pra kinekt não é bom mas o jogo é distrativo de vez em quando frustante mais é bom. Collapse
  2. Can't I just confuse their languages, like the original story? This isn't fun, graphics are just ok, controls are as expected.................. mediocre. Expand
