Hi this is Andrew from http://www.gametestplay.com and today I'll be playing Super Dodge Ball. Super Dodge Ball was produced by Technos in 1987 and released through Hamster's Arcade Archives Series on the PS4. The object of the game is hit the other team's players and knock them out. Once the infield is eliminated, you've won and move on the face the next country. Difficultly is gradually increased as well as the amount of large guys the other team has. The large guy takes more hits to eliminate and has the ability to throw strong shots that can only be dodged, and not caught. The controls in this game are bad. Everything feels lackluster and wonky and you can't switch between teammates. Catch and strike are the same button; pass and dodge are the other button. Pressing both buttons while you have the ball makes you jump, and pressing left or right twice makes you dash, and dashing is essential if you want to get past the second team. You can't really control who you to hit or pass to, and if you can it's not intuitive and doesn't feel good. What kept me going at first is wanting to see what the different Nationalities looked, unfortunately they're just palette swaps. Once I got to Africa and saw a bunch of Red Guys I quit playing. You character is always flickering and this makes it really hard to see who you're suppose to be controlling. Even the way the screen pans is jarring. There's a local two-player mode, but good luck convincing anybody to play with you. Overall,
Super Dodge Ball teeters on playability, and should be avoided by anyone revisiting the retro playgrounds.That's all for today, if you want more Retro Reviews be sure to check out http://www.gametestplay.com
