Super Dodge Ball Advance

"Great Game, But a Bit on the Easy Side."

Remember the old Dodgeball game for NES? Well this is the sequel. But this time it has souped-up graphics and cooler super throws. Overall the game is good, but it's a bit on the easy side. But the game has pretty good gameplay and graphics. The game is pretty fun to play and when you play multiplayer with a friend, it's even better.

Gameplay-7
The gameplay is great, it has perfect controls so you can just jump in and start playing. The gameplay is very fun at first, but the game is easy. The multiplayer will help the game last but the game will only last about a month. What is cool about the game is that you can change everything, from team names, to player names, even your players’ stats. There are also many teams to play and the dream teams can also pose a challenge.

Graphics-8
The game has good graphics. They look like RPG characters from a Playstation game, like Final Fantasy Tactics. The throws also look good, and some of the super throws look cool. The game field also looks nice.

Sound-7
Nothing shocking, just regular music. The battle music is great, and the sound effects from the throws are great also. Some of the music gets annoying though.

Control-8
The game has great control. The controls are easy to figure out. Control Pad to move, on offence, A: Pass and B: Throw and on Defense A: Duck B: Catch. The game should have taken more advantage of the L and R buttons, otherwise the control is perfect.

Replay-5
This is where the game lacks, the game is just way to easy. The only teams that are not easy are the dream teams, but they just use cheap annoying tactics. After you beat it there is not much to do, if you know people who have this game and you play the multiplayer it fun, but it can get annoying when they always catch it.

Overall-7
The game is fun but it won't last. The game should keep you busy for a while, but it is just to easy. The game is not really something I would recommend to buy, it's more of a rent to keep you busy over the weekend.

The Bottom Line
This game is a rent, it's a rent because it very easy to beat within a few days, even the multiplayer will die out soon. But this game is very fun and should keep you busy for at least a week or two.
