Summary
Clusterball? is an online sport, designed to invoke the same adrenaline rush as "Quake" and "Unreal," but replacing the spatter and gore with pure gameplay. By combining the feel and gaming experience from ball, flight and racing games, Clusterball? is totally unlike anything you?ve ever seen before. [Stragegy First]

Clusterball is fun in spurts, but the control and the physics keep it from being as addictive as it potentially could be.
Read Full Review >IGN
Value of others aside and despite lacking in one way or another in virtually all respects, Clusterball still pulls off a refreshing blood free, but still faced-paced competition that, however twitchy and underdeveloped, remains average at best and worst, a select few able to cope with awkward controls may even find it an addiction.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
While it may not be the world champion of team-oriented multiplayer games, Clusterball is an unusual and enjoyable addition to the genre.

You know you're in for a hair-raising experience as soon as the race starts. Unfortunately, the hair that's rising will be on the back of your neck as you realize just how horrid the controls are.

Clusterball is one serious cluster-fu...No, I said I wouldn't do it, and I won't. [Apr 2002, p.101]

Null_FU gave it a9:
I've only played CB online for almost a year now - but the game IS eminently playable in both Practice (offline against AI/`bots) and Match (online vs. live opponents) modes. Two communities exist as websites - clusterball.com for multi-lingual (mostly English) & *.net (99% German) - both are "alive and well" although some differences manifest even beyond the languages. Setup (control bindings, flight model adjustments, conn & such) can be a trifle complex - but it's all quite do-able & results in a responsive ship well-suited to the game (Practice mode is adviseable until you have your flyer in final trim!). My only "beef" is that online competition favors technical&conn advantage (to a certain extent), but I still have a lot of fun with only a modem & a 5 year old comp ;] - HIGHLY recommended for those who enjoy Sport!
DeceptiveOne gave it a10:
I've been playing this game nearly since its inception. Spring 2001. It is not the contemporary genre, having said that, I am happy to find a game with out the "played out gore and violence." These days it is all the same "crap" over and over. I certainly wish ClusterBall would be marketed heavily in the USA. If you don't think it is fun or can't give you an adrenaline rush, come see me "DeceptiveONE" and we will fly together and see. :-) http://www.clusterball.com If you need any assistance.
Nocturne gave it a9:
This is a game worth waiting for. Ive been looking for soooooo long! Controlls are hard at first, but that is necessary for getting a good competetive play!
Erik F. gave it a 10:

Andrew L. gave it a 10:
I leave in Russian and don't speek English well, but i can say that it is a very good game, and I want to play in this game.
TD gave it a 10:
This is a great game. If you find the controls hard, then you might not have a keyboard or a mouse. Please check again. DOT.
Robert P. gave it a 10:
Don't know a better game then Clusterball! A Mutliplayer game for the whole family from the age of 8 up to 80 ;-) Fast and furious, although no blood is splashing your screen! Test it more then once and you'll be addictive to it! Check www.clusterball.net for more!
