out, I get very curious.\u00a0 Disco Dodgeball Remix is a new downloadable game available for all the current home game consoles, but reviewed on PS4 here.\u00a0 So does it reach new dodgeball heights?\u00a0 You\u2019ll just have to read on to find out!<\/p>\n<p>Well, you won\u2019t have to read too much further, because the answer is \u2018not quite.\u2019\u00a0 It\u2019s not a bad game, but it does play like a first-person shooter, and I\u2019m just not accustomed to FPS game controls.\u00a0 You play as a silly one-wheeled robot and can customize its looks any way you want, such as color, outfit, hat, etc.\u00a0 You play in color changing arenas that look straight out of a TRON movie, or at least a laser tag stadium from the 80\u2019s.\u00a0 The visuals in these areas are crisp and clean and almost hypnotic.<\/p>\n<p>When you start, you\u2019ll view the action from your robot\u2019s eyes.\u00a0 You\u2019ll want to find a disco ball as soon as you can.\u00a0 When you roll over it, you\u2019ll automatically pick it up.\u00a0 Hold down the R2 button to build up power, and then release to throw.\u00a0 Try to aim at another robot, because if you hit it, you\u2019ll gain a point, or win depending on what mode you choose.\u00a0 Just be careful not to get hit yourself.\u00a0 You can also hold and release the L2 button to jump, but it\u2019s pretty useless since you can\u2019t jump high enough to get anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>There is a single player arcade mode with challenges, although the CPU robots are super hard.\u00a0 You can also play local and online multiplayer with lots of arenas and rules to choose from.\u00a0 I\u2019d say this game is only good if you are an expert with FPS controls, and enjoy playing games online or with a bunch of people nearby.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/disco_screen\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17880\"
