    When it’s all said and done, MIBI is a blast to play. The single player mode is robust, and the competitive multiplayer portion of the title will keep players coming back for more.

    Madballs in Babo: Invasion is everything you want in an arcade shooter. The fast paced gameplay mixed with the abundance of online modes make this easily recommendable for any fans of hardcore shooting action. It’s just unfortunate that the Madballs license doesn’t play a bigger part.

    A simple, finely tuned and comprehensive shooter that only rarely wobbles. [Sept 2009, p.100]

    The basic idea is quite good, but the way it's implemented in the game is highly doubtful.

    Wow. This was maybe the biggest surprise I've had gaming, really. Who thought a "Madballs" game was a good idea? It autodownloaded last night and I figured I would give it a few minutes before I deleted it. About 10 hours later I almost called in sick today to keep playing. The multiplayer is so addicting! Can't wait to play again tonight. I worry not enough people will buy it to keep enough people playing though.… Expand

    As a long time babo enthusiast I am very pleased with the game. Its rare that a company will go out of its way to constantly keep its fans thoughts in mind. This game at its very least is a great time killer, and at its most, THE best Xbox Live Arcade game to ever hit the marketplace. Looking forward to watching the community evolve as it has done with the BaboViolent 2 community. (Go check it out, for a nice prequel to Invasion). , Asmo out.… Expand

    This game is ignored because its made by an indi dev and not ea, also the name. This game, As far as xbox live arcade games go, is a master piece in its own right.

    This game can get REAL competitive. Over 20 maps, 4 player coop campaign. Multiplayer death matches, team, ctf, invasion mode, and an avater mode. Great graphics (for an arcade title/800 point game) that will shine.

    I'm not saying this is halo or cod but put things in perspective, this is a ten dollar/800 point game in the marketplace that is pretty damn deep as far as multiplayer/features are concerned and gives more than your moneys worth.    … Expand
