    Babel Rising is a solid buy, through and through...as long as you're not expecting a solid Kinect experience.

    Cool concept and good ideas, but Babel Rising doesn't deliver any long-term enjoyment.

    At $10, the price is fine, but if you enjoyed the demo, it would be best to wait for this to go on sale.

    As a creative take on the "Tower Defense" principle, this "Tower Prevention" simply doesn't work out.

    Not everything turns out to be as good it should: Babel Rising is a really good game on the iOS/Mobile environment, but loses part of its spirit in its consoles version. With a boring and linear gameplay and an insufficient Kinect control-schema, it represents a missed chance in XBLA market.

    Babel Rising has an interesting concept that never really comes to fruition. With only fifteen levels and a lack of online play, Babel Rising never even comes close to reaching the heavens.

    Sadly, too often your powers feel anything but godly.
