Visually I was left with the impression of an old engine updated with a few modern tricks in an attempt to bring it back to life. In reality the game uses the Unreal Engine 3, but the giveaway is the lack of native AA support and generally unimpressive visuals.

The Ball is good effort with some interesting ideas. Unfortunately, the good things are undermined by some questionable combat mechanics, a bothersome, half-obstructed first person point of view and a half-baked story concept. The game retails at $19.99 and a full playthrough takes five or six hours (depending on your puzzle solving skill or willingness to use the hint system) with the extra survival challenges providing a bit more (albeit quite similar) gameplay.
