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

Gaming Age
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.

Daily Radar
The addition of passable graphics, surprisingly good production values and quirky, fun gameplay make picking up this $9.99 title a pretty easy decision.

Game Revolution
The fast-paced action and variety of arenas make it perfect for killing some time even if it doesn't deliver the most rewarding gaming experience.

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.

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 think of it as "Road Rash" up close and personal (and want to see a game like that), then go ahead and break these balls.

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.
