Super-fun robo-badminton for just $5. [Aug 2009, p.77]

IGN

If there was some really compelling gameplay here the visuals would be easier to overlook, but this is a pretty simple badminton game with power-ups added. The lack of online play is also disappointing. You'll have more fun slapping your own 'cock around.

Team Xbox

Our main gripe is that Blazing Birds is just so…flat.
