  1. We wanted to like Double D Dodgeball more because of the subject matter, but it simply doesn’t deliver the kind of experience we were hoping for. With better controls, the whole “playing dodgeball in space” thing could have worked. But we found ourselves worrying too much about being a sitting duck on the court to have time to enjoy the special, arcade-y features of Double D Dodgeball.
  2. I imagine that someone could find something to like in Double D Dodgeball if they really tried, and I'll admit that the title does play pretty much as promised. However, the lack of a solid single-player experience, coupled with the complete lack of online players, makes the title not worth checking out before the download even begins.
  3. Pirates vs Ninjas Dodgeball is due for release soon, and that's a far more instinctive and entertaining affair. Save your points for that, and send this one for an early shower.
  4. Getting pounded in the face with a real dodgeball might be more fun than this postmodern rendition of the schoolyard sport.

    It only hurts when you play it. broken, takes the fun out of dodgeball. You might as well be a geek against 500 jocks and get pummelled by a million dodgeballs. I guarantee it would be more fun than playing this game. not worth the money, spend it elsewhere... even at the price of free, I cant recommend this game Expand
