What's it about?
In GALACTIC TAZ BALL, Taz is oblivious to Marvin the Martian's intent to steal Earth's landscape. Consequently, our hero unwittingly thwarts Marvin's scheme during his quest to find a giant chicken leg. This is a platform-based arcade-style game with 25 levels, each with items to collect as a means of determining player performance. There are multiple difficulty levels for players to set the challenge that is right for them.
Is it any good?
While Galactic Taz Ball has a decent number of levels and two distinctive world styles -- the Overworld and the Underworld -- there is not a lot of variety in the actual levels. Taz's motion is fun to control and it doesn't take long to achieve a level of comfort with the track ball movement scheme. The characters look good on the DS platform and Taz's antics are worth a smile or two.
