The individual layers of variation don't run terribly deep, and offl ine exhibitions only cast a harsh light on amateurish A.I. flaws, but Double D Dodgeball 's offbeat mix of arcade action and online sporting teamwork still packs enough fastpaced intensity and simple strategy to be worth inviting to recess.
Pros:
* Fluid blend of old-school looks and current-gen speed
* Adequate variety of characters, ball types, and field options
Cons:
* Surprisingly weak matchmaking system, worse A.I.
Questionable:
* Why can the A.I. catch balls that hit from behind, but we can't?
