    This game is not worth your money or even the time it takes to download it. Not having the ability to play against another human is a huge strike to this game. Bottom line is to avoid this game.

    Sadly, Cyberball 2072 doesn't live up to our feelings of nostalgia, and a couple of design choices by the dev team leave this port on the wrong side of the line of scrimmage. [Dec 2007, p.78]

    You'll need to be a serious American football/robot fan to get stuck in now. [Dec 2007, p.96]

    A real mess of ideas that tries hard but just doesn't have what it takes. [Issue 26, p.118]

    Without the ability to compete against human opponents, this version of Cyberball 2072 is a completely useless waste.

The only downsides I noticed were some slight control issues (the analog stick doesn't translate the digital controls 100% perfect, and the d-pad just sucks) and the bizarre omission of access to the game's dip-switch settings (you only get to change the game timer, and it's already defaulted to the slowest setting, so there's no need to change it).
