    A nice new fighting type game that is unique and entertaining.

    Deep down I hope that this game sells well, not because it's amazing, but because for ten dollars, you're not going to find a better new game.

    A fun little action title that's inexpensive (making it an easy impulsive purchase), and incredibly addictive at the same time, which are two qualities that do not go hand-in-hand very often.

    Poor and rich people alike have no excuse to look elsewhere for a sensible purchase.

    The second half's ridiculous difficulty hampers its full potential and causes it to lose significant points... [but] if the idea of a bloodthirsty, darkly violent version of "Marble Madness" sounds like your idea of a good time, check it out.

    Enough playability, weirdness, gameplay variety, and levels to make it worth a look if you want something that won't break your bank.

    If you look past a painfully weak back story and the painfully simple graphics, you'll find there is an enjoyable game to be played in Ball Breakers.
