The default mode, 'Team KO,' is a three-on-three fight to the dodge-death, and its weapon-and-ammo proposition instantly feels different than most other online combat games.įreaks & Geeks' classic dodgeball scene. Knockout City focuses on team-based deathmatches in a cartoonish metropolis. Let's start with all the fun, depth, surprises, and innovations packed into Knockout City, because you might not assume a game about bubbly teenagers throwing dodgeballs has any of that stuff. So I'm left with two obstacles: convincing you that Knockout City is worth your time, and convincing you that EA isn't going to get in the way of its success. But as I've learned over the years, a great online game can fail without a boisterous playerbase, an adept publishing hand, or good reasons for friends to keep playing with each other.

I wish describing an online game like that was enough to guarantee its success. And the game elevates this familiar format all under the guise of family-friendly dodgeball. It celebrates and elevates the genre's roots in ways that make me think I've somehow reinstalled my old Voodoo2 GPU. Knockout City is the best team-deathmatch game I've played in years.
