User Rating:Vector Ball is an iOS version of a quite old game that made the run in the Flash game arena, CurveBall. Although this looks nicer.
Gameplay is as simple as it can get for such a game: move your paddle and hit the ball. Miss and you lose, make your enemy miss and you win. Simple, boring, repetitive. Of course getting good with Vector Ball can be kind of fun, if you love a challenge. You can add spin to your shots, which will make the AI miss more often. But the AI can also send you curved balls… Be prepared.
Vector Ball offers a network mode to play against your friends, which can be a good entertainment factor if they buy the game.
In short: Since the game has a “lite” version, try before buying and decide for yourself.
