If you were alive during the 80s, you might vaguely remember a line of crude toys called “Madballs“. The product’s popularity was rather short lived, and it spawned an unsuccessful TV show and comic series.
After more than two decades, Playbrain has attempted to resurrect Madballs as an Xbox Live Arcade shooter, which happens to have the worst title in the platform’s history: Madballs in Babo: Invasion. Read on to find out whether or not this incessant creation should be put to rest.
The premise of Babo: Invasion is absolutely absurd, yet eerily delightful. In short, the good side (The B*D*I) and the bad side (The Scorched Militia) are stuck on a planet and have to duke it out. Any story you get over the course of the game will be delivered in non-verbal text, so you don’t have to worry about the sound of your own laughter being spoken over.
Madballs allows you to get right in the action with either a 10 level single player campaign, or an online multiplayer mode. As soon as I booted it up, I was ready to dive right into the local multiplayer, only to find out it didn’t exist. There are absolutely no split-screen or same-screen options in Madballs, which is rather shocking, considering this is mentioned briefly on the extra details page and not in the general description.
A few of Madball’s gameplay
highlights include the experience system and the ability to customize
your characters. Every enemy you kill in every mode of the game
(including multiplayer) will earn you more experience points that go
towards unlocking new characters and weapons. To further add to the
diversity of the game, each Madball has a different ability;
for instance, Oculus Orbus can charge attack enemies, and Boba can use
his jet pack to traverse terrain.
