  1. Madballs in Babo: Invasion

    Fast-paced multiplayer with a dash of strategic depth gets Madballs rolling, but stuttering visuals and lag issues may bring your fun to a screeching halt. Thanks to a significant patch, the visual stuttering and lag issues described in the review are no longer present. Both online and offline play are silky smooth, making the action much more enjoyable. Read more

    Babo: Invasion also looks quite nice visually for an Xbox Live Arcade title, with a range of bright colours on screen and particle effects to keep things looking vibrant. There's often lots of action displayed on-screen (particularly in multiplayer), and while the game does manage to avoid this becoming confusing, there are the occasional framerate hiccups. Still, it's a minor issue which doesn't get in the way of an enjoyable game. Read more

    Multiplayer support comes in the form of deathmatch, team deathmatch, and capture the flag modes. There's also an Avatar deathmatch mode where the Madballs are replaced by the players' Avatar's heads. The balls and weapons available are unlocked through play, so if you skip the campaign and go right to multiplayer you'll be at a bit of a disadvantage. Multiplayer play is fast, as the balls can really scoot and there's a lot of bouncing off of obstructions and each other.... Read more

    The feel of Marble Blast Ultra, with the 'run n gun' of Wipeout/MarioKart. A winning combination. Lots of unlockables, campaign chapters, multiplayer maps, game modes(4-player co-op!) and Avatar implementation! Ever wanted to know what it's like to decapitate a friend's Avatar and blow up their heads into a bunch of pieces of confetti? Download Madballs! Read more
