It is pretty weak.

You have to keep tapping a button in order to fly, which makes the whole thing a real chore after about 1 minute of play.

One side scrolling mode where you fly and collect things attached to balloons while avoiding stars that pop your own balloon.

One vertical (classic?) mode where you jump on top of enemies' balloons to burst them, then do the same thing again when they use their parachute.

I played it for 10 minutes, and I'll never be playing it again. If anyone wants to pay 40 quid for this, be sure to PM me. It may be free, but why bother playing this when I could be playing something decent?

One thing looks certain - I aint going to be a Club Nintendo Platinum member next time around... Have already decided to sell my DS.

You HAVE played Balloon Fight before right?

Because it sounds like youre a bit suprised by the gameplay.

In short, STFU NOOB.

I'm hoping that at the very least he's played Joust. That's some classic game play and actually sounds like a lot of fun.

Balloon Fight is a great game hanafudax, give it a chance.

Never played Balloon Fight in my life prior to last night. I don't really see what relevance that has though, as this version doesn't do it for me at all. If I want a blast from the past right now, I'll take Wonderboy over this every time.

@ Joe

I'll be in touch. Check your PMs.

This better not be the copy you're already selling on another forum.

Nope, it isn't. I want one for keeps, and my one isn't perfect/golden/poseur/suede or whatever you wish to call it. :)

Because your complaints are retarded.

"Enemies kill you!?!?!!!!"

Strange how yesterday 2pm you were debating wether to buy this (see above), and 24 hours later you suddenly have two copies.

Very strange, but if you didn't try and be my dad, and kept your nose out you wouldn't have to worry would you? The fact that you don't know all the erm facts means you are on the wrong road here, but I shall continue to let you entertain me if you want. I also don't have 2 copies, I have one, which I'm not happy with, so I'm selling it.
