PvN: Dodgeball is mediocre fun at best. What's disappointing is that it comes so close to being a good, engaging game. In co-op, a team can play through each of the storylines, beating their opponents into submission in rousing games of dodgeball. Each race (Pirates, Ninjas, Zombies and Robots), has their own short storyline that can be completed in an hour or so. Teams can also just play quick games against the AI or against other human players. The gameplay just ends up rather simple and repetitive. My fiance and I played through 2 of the 4 campaigns before putting it away. I doubt we go back to it. Which is a shame, as so many other elements of the game show an incredible amount of polish for an XBLA title. The graphics and characters are crisp, good looking and original for an XBLA game. The engine is smooth. The writing takes a good stab at humor and irreverence. I've seen interviews with Blazing Lizard, the developer, who has expressed interest in doing additional PvN games, but in different genres. If they can keep all that is good about this game, but make it more fun, they could end up with a quality title.
