Of course, each has their own unique abilities and now everyone has a double jump. For starters, there are three new characters: Grid, Nitro, and Jet. I have only been (currently as of the review) playing for three hours but I have a (at least) basic understanding of what the game has changed. This is like a powerup that is activated by getting the ball into it and has several different abilities (invisible ball, instant fast ball, ball telekenisis, etc.) that will last for a while. Another thing is that you can now hit the ball straight down and there is a mini yellow goal that sometimes appears during the match at the top of the map. This was implemented in order for players not instantaneously die the first few seconds of the match.
Also instead of being just one hit kills, you now have a lifebar that will go down based on how fast the ball is going. This new installment in the franchise brings a new flair to the game as it introduces several new characters, new stages, amazing new music tracks, a story mode, improved AI, a new artstyle, new mechanics, and the long awaited servers for multiplayer (albeit, they aren't the best). Also, there are many different game modes and characters to choose form which allows players to find their own playstyle. The ball can go up to a speed of one million, however, it is pretty hard to get to in regular matches. This game is a high speed ball game that is sort of like dodgeball but is 2.5 dimensions. When you use Nitro's special, if you hold down the swing button, Nitro will pull himself to the ball instead of pulling the ball to himself.ĭuring Nitro's special, when he reaches the ball, you can press bunt and it will bunt the ball instead of hitting it.

Unlocked by completing every Story mission with every character As you'd expect, the lethal league ball game is an illegal, underground sport, outlawed by The Man after someone died playing.Ballhead (Raptor's 1st variant of the different model) Blaze, though, has a story mode, which adds some fun, if simple lore to its world and characters. It was a great game to play with friends, but I wasn't going to practice. With the first Lethal League, I never really felt a compelling path to get better playing solo. It's all worth it for pulling off that one blinding speed rebound. I am not good at Lethal League Blaze, but it's so satisfying on a visceral hitting-things-and-watching-shit-happen level that I don't care when I lose. Should I go for a basic hit, which will be easier to predict and hit back in my face? Should I try to bunt and then hit the ball again for the follow up, building up speed? Or should I throw it, changing up the timing just enough to catch someone blinking? It adds depth to the split-second decision making running through my head every time I try to hit the ball. Same with the throw: it's simple enough that it doesn't overcomplicate things, but another variable in a game that moves at this speed can make big waves. The health bars felt like a big change at first, but after a few minutes I really liked them: they let matches develop a bit more, making room for surprising upsets.
