A surprising treat. [Dec 2009, p.109]

Cheat Code Central

There's a lot of fun and depth to be found here for the right gamer. Furthermore, the bargain price is a real treat! Still, not everyone will enjoy this game - it's definitely for fans of arcade shooters.

This game has very good graphics, very colorful and the assorted environments make it pure eye candy if you have the hardware to handle it. There are single player and multi-player options, co-op and PvP. Having trouble with the campaign? Invite some friends to play with you online in Enduro mode. The physics (rolling makes things more interesting) are very well done to the point of becoming very annoying (though a fun challenge) at times depending on one's skill and the environmental conditions, especially when trying to navigate some small walkway (rollway?) or path while under fire. Each character tends to handle in it's own way. Some are large and slow, others small and fast. The character classes are well done, adding just the right mix. Fast & sneaky means small and lower health. Big and slow (think tank) means large and healthy, although the health doesn't mean much if under concentrated fire, you just tend to survive a bit longer. There's a lot of game here for the price including many unlockable items, ranks, achievements and secrets (the latter consisting primarily of humorous log entries of someone named J.J. Jenkins). If you can get a demo of this, definitely give it a try!

Madballs is a simple pleasure. It was designed to be a fun arcade game, with a bit of depth and strategy added in via. alternate weapon modes, classes and special abilities. If you go in expecting some complicated story mode with puzzles and dialog, you're clearly not looking at the right game; you may as well be disappointed with Chess, by expecting an action-packed, fast-paced game. Madballs plays mainly as a multiplayer game, but co-op and campaign modes are also a lot of fun. With a low price, as well as a slew of great features including Steam achievements, Steam cloud, Voice-over-IP, unlocks and more, you really can't go wrong!

A brilliant indie game that deserves far more exposure than it has received. It's a great bundle of rollin' fun, and is definately worth the price of admission. The production values are top notch - artwork has its own unique flair that is perfectly suited to the game. The music is well produced and has a few tracks that really gets the adrenaline pumping - perfectly suiting the style of the game. It's definately got its charm, and what's more - the main attraction of the game is its gameplay, and you won't be disappointed. It's great fun to pick up and play, and is well balanced and deep enough to delve into to become a great game for those willing to give it their time. It would be time well spent.
