Magic Ball, licensed under agreement with Alawar Entertainment, takes a very simple idea - a ball, a paddle and a pile of bricks - and turns the player loose in a dynamic 3D environment of destructible pirates, dragons and more. "I was very pleased to see this amazing iteration of our Magic Ball franchise come to life on the PS3," said Alexander Lyskovsky, CEO of Alawar. "The 3D graphics are eye-catching and entertaining and the gameplay will have players engaged for many hours." The initial release of this version of Magic Ball will include over 40 exciting levels and both local and online multiplayer action, with over 20 additional levels scheduled to be available at a later date.
