Dodge Ball/Bowling/Paintball for the Gameboy Advance seems
like a great deal because it gives you three games for one low price, but there is a hitch and I don't want you to fall for it. Here is the hitch: all three games are terrible and do not warrent a purchase. The dodgeball game pits against the CPU in a simple court. You have three players in your side and the CPU has three players on his. You must hit each players three times before you win so a total of nine times to kick them out of the court. The graphics are weak, the character animations are cheap and the controls are sluggish. It plays very slowly and has a boring feel to it. The paintball game is just as bad, placing your character in a practically barren grassy field, with cheap animations and sound effects. Funny thing about the paintball is that when you get shot or you hit the CPU players you DO NOT see any paint splatter, which is pathetic! Are the gamemakers saying that the paint effect is cannot be handled by the GBA's 32-Bit power? Then finally there is the bowling game, this is the only redeeming game in the package but still falls short in the fun department. The graphics in bowling are clean and the controls are servicable but the game still feels bland and empty. Overall this game is a terrible purchase because you get three junky games. Save your money and purchase something else. I recommend the GBA game called, Super Dodgeball Advance.

Pros:
none

Cons:
-terrible graphics
-terrible animation
-terrible A.I.
-terribly boring
-sluggish controls
-zero fun factor
-zero replay value
-feels like Atari 2600
