    Each of King Oddballs levels requires the player to destroy all the enemies on screen, including tanks and helicopters, using 3 boulders. To do this the player simply has to press a button to release each boulder as King Oddball swings them back and forth on his giant tounge.

    That description may make the game sound a bit out there but this is essentially an Angry Birds clone.

    That description may make the game sound a bit out there but this is essentially an Angry Birds clone. The gameplay does require a little bit of skill in terms of timing and deciding the best place to throw each boulder but more often than not you can complete levels through sheer luck in the end. Much like Angry Bird this is fun for 10 minutes here and there, and a good way to kill time sitting on the bus or train, but in the end it’s all too simple and repetitive. I can’t see anyone sticking with it for too long with so many more interesting games available on the PS4.    … Expand

    A stand-out physics puzzler very much in the Angry Birds mould, King Oddball has enough tweaks and accessibility of play to make it a worthwhile proposition for most, though folks adverse to the charms of Rovio's avian slinger will find little here to change their minds.

    Overall, King Oddball is a great game to turn on one in a while, perhaps after a rough game of Battlefied 4 or Titalfall, as it offers a fun, relaxing, and laid back experience.

    Boring level design, a lack of innovation and uninspired extras make this frustratingly difficult game hardly worth playing. Skip it.
