    The player graphics are absolutely adorable and the whole package is loaded with vibrant colors and comical animations.

    A nice mix of strategy, options and not-too-difficult play make this an enjoyable family game.

    The hitting interface isn’t perfect, the modes of play are extremely limited, and the pace of the game is brought to a grinding halt whenever the loading sequences appear, which occurs early and often.

    Good game. Easy to play with my 8-year-old. Agree with reviewer above that the loading interface takes too long.
