Good movie, bad game
The movie Balls of Fury was a relatively good film: the story of the clumsy table tennis player Randy was well put together, the music was fitting, and the humor was great too.
Unfortunately, the game of the same name has none of this. Where the gameplay feels mediocre from the start, the rest of the game feels even more disastrous. The controls are poor, the graphics are downright painful, and none of the good aspects from the movie are present: the story is almost completely overshadowed, the accompanying music doesn't fit the game at all, and even the humor is completely absent. Many movies deserve a suitable game, but in this case, it might have been better if there was no game at all...
