- “Couple all of that - which is pretty good - with explosive, high-energy music blasting violently into your ears and an incredibly intense visual experience, as well as the rapidity of the balls’ descent, and you’ve got an engaging, challenging experience on your hands.”
- “The soundtrack is great and it gets you into the game.”
- “Great concept, great visuals and soundtrack, but overall the game is poorly executed.”
