(from the game’s website)
“BV2 is a top down shooter where you control a “Babo,” a red or blue orb that rolls around the screen with one of six weapons attached to it. The intuitive keyboard + mouse interface helps you get into the thick of the action as quick as possible. It’s as simple as joining one of the many active servers and hitting ‘F’. You are immediately dropped into the action and start tossing grenades and molotov cocktails at anything that moves while firing to stay alive.”

What the game gets right
The play is fast, the controls are intuitive, the sound effects are excellent, the graphics are simple yet very well done, and the weapon choice is plentiful. Being able to pick up the other weapons is nice and keeps the game moving and changing. Spawning happens as far from the action as possible which, most of the time, allows you to get your bearings. And all of this for FREE!
What the game gets wrong
The only thing I think I can find wrong with this game is the shield secondary weapon; it seems to provide little, if any, shielding. Oh, and there’s no real documentation for setting up your own server (have to dig through the forums for that; yes I know this is nitpicking). The only technical issue I have seen with this game is the abundance of crashes I experienced until I had upgraded to the latest video driver for my system.
Sum it up
BaboViolent was the funnest game I played all year. First introduced to it at the LAN free-play at PAX, this has become the game to play when I have a few “spare” minutes (or during an extended lunch break) and don’t want to get involved in a game with a story line . The quality of the game is excellent; far better than what you would expect for a free game. This is a great game to have on hand and should be the default game for any LAN party. Oh, bazookas, how you make me smile.
