    This is damn near as good a version of Dodgeball as I could ask for...if only overall character speed could be tweaked. [May 2008, p.66]

    The action in SDB is slower than I would have expected from a sequel over a decade in the making. Still, the expansive character creation, crazy Supershots, and the nods to River City Ransom make all the flaws seem like the needless nitpicking of an obsessed fanboy.

    A good amount of fun for a short amount of time. It’s too complex for casual gamers, but too shallow for anyone looking to really dive into a dodgeball game. The core mechanics are tight, but sadly, there just isn’t that much to do with them.

    The overall experience is still very slow, and if the goal was to just emulate the original NES Dodge Ball experience, you'd be better off just digging that up or playing the cheaper, more advanced GBA version.

    Overall, it’s not the most sophisticated title on the block, but it’s worth it for the nostalgia value alone.

    Retro fans will bemoan the left out favourite bits, while newcomers will feel it's a little bit simple. [Sept 2008, p.65]

    Super Dodgeball Brawlers is little more than a nostalgia trip, but it's a short trip, so there's no reason to pack your bags.

The gameplay is simple and that's what keep you coming back for more. The game is actually pretty dang hard and for a sports game is highly replayable, unlike some others that become quickly boring. Plus, 8 player multiplayer. Oh yeah!… Expand
