    As a multiplayer-focused free-for-all, Starwhal is a lot of fun in short doses. Sadly, the game is too repetitive and the extra modes are bafflingly unbalanced. I can imagine this being a hit with large parties, but solo players need not apply.

    The single player modes against bots are rather dull so, with no online multiplayer, Starwhal is pretty much a complete waste of time unless you can get three friends sitting around the same console. Should you be able to do so there is some short term fun to be had despite the (intentionally?) awkward controls and repetitive nature of the gameplay.
