Ballz 3D: Fighting at its Ballziest

At least it's bouncy


Genre: fighting - 1v1

Publisher: Accolade

Year: 1994

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 0

Gameplay Notes:

Button masher if ever there was such a thing Pseudo 3D effect is impressive until you try to navigate the arena in hopes of getting close enough to attack. Hint: it's incredibly frustrating Controls are virtually unusable. Punch, kick, and jump buttons. No idea if there are special moves Enemies seem to have projectile moves that you don't have Even on easy difficulty it's impossible hard. Enemies constantly put you in a never ending stun lock


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Just 1v1 fights


Theme Score: 0

Theme Notes:

How did this make it past Nintendo's censors? The orgasmic moans in the title music should tell you the maturity level of this game. The big screens constantly showing dumb messages are on brand but tortuously stupid.


Art Style Score: 0

Art Style Notes:

Impressive tech demo but the constantly rotating mode 7 floor combined with the scrolling background quickly become nauseating. The ahem Ballz characters are similar to but less interesting to look at than Sega's Vectorman.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

Music is spastic and bouncy. Weird but quite interesting. Sound effects are truly awful. Characters grunt and moan. Horrible stuff


Overall Score: 9

Review ID: 40
