  Slapping a new coat of paint on an old classic is a tried and true modus operandi in the game industry. Ultra Space Battle Brawl is such a rework, for none other than the most classic of all classics: Pong. Adding in a bit of Breakout, Windjammers, Street Fighter and a shiny new art style does excite for a moment, even if it is just a moment.

  On the whole, Ultra Space Battle Brawl is very much worth a purchase if you play games with friends on a regular basis. Its fusion of Pong with an 80’s arcade game aesthetic really gives it character, and when your opponent is a real human being it’s an absolute riot. It’s quite light on features though, and its single player offering really lets the package down.

  None were game breaking or really affected gameplay other than causing some lag, but nevertheless, even if the glitches aren’t harmful, they do stand out. All in all, I feel that while Ultra Space Battle Brawl may seem strange and absurd at first, it is an enjoyable experience that you wouldn’t want to miss out on.

  Ultra Space Battle Brawl is exactly what it says it is: an intergalactic Pong game on steroids. Hell, throw in a little Street Fighter II there for good measure. There’s an incredibly charming neon polish in every corner of this title, and the tense sports action is satisfying to say the least. If you’re looking for this generation’s Wind Jammers, Ultra Space Battle Brawl can’t be missed.

  7.0

  Ultra Space Battle Brawl is a great quick fix multiplayer game to pull out amongst a gathering of friends and alcohol. It may not offer depth in either gameplay or features, but that raw competitive nerve will undoubtedly stand in the end whenever there is a score to settle. With 2 vs 2 options (or even 2 vs 1 for the less modest gamer), there are plenty of reasons here to bang balls around in space together.

  5.0

  Art direction and sound design can only take you so far, however. While Ultra Space Battle Brawl has some intriguing characters, accessible controls, and a decent story mode, it simply wears out its welcome far too soon, thanks to shallow mechanics and gameplay that often feels too erratic and random.
