I wanted to play this, but so sad i did. Luckily the trial means we can try it and not buy it.

Maybe this idea can be expanded a lot for the next release or update.

I lik pong games. I also like them to be modernized over the original. For various reasons like having a joystick, and more capability. This game however is as primitive as can be. The angle of the ball does not change or anything. It's just like the original a ball blocking game.
So although the author says it was supposed to be free, if it is now 2.50, then why put it up.
On a good note though, with the 8 minute trial this really is free. And for that i cannot complain.

This is a fun game. It lacks in some areas (just needs a bit more attention to detail). but my kids (8 and 10) love it. They have in fact learnt these spanish words really well, so well worth the cost.
The games are simple, but with the format it seems to work quite well at making you remember the translations. I do not know if this is a good way to learn another language, but it is fun. The kids can play it for ages, not so myself.

As the previous reviewer said, this is a nicely put together game. Doesn't feel cheap or tacky like some of the XBLC games do. It is quite good fun for single player, but really needs more difficulty settings, as the hard mode is a little tough. But the standard mode starts out too easy. The gem with this game is that the Coop mode allows you to play with anyone you have around. This allowed me to get to much harder levels as we both faced off against the improving AI driven bat. I must mention here that the AI bat seems to get better at a nicely progressive rate (nice job).
I like playing this with my wife, and more importantly she likes playing this with me (what my wife on the Xbox!! no way!).
So i have to give it an 8 (more difficulty settings please, and if it had a level progression save i would have given it a 9 for sure).
I hope we get more games that are fun for couples to play.
Well worth the measly 200 points
Yay for my first review, now what shall i review next .. hmm....
