Pros
Pro Fun core concept centered around movement
Bounden makes for quite a strange title wherein the players both hold the device in order to try and make a ball follow particular movements on the device. This creates a situation where the players are basically dancing while playing. A bit like a 2 player Twister game with constant movement.
Pro Smart design that uses choreography of ballet
The design of the game was made to mimic the choreography of Dutch ballet. This makes for quite an original concept for a game as well as shows how well thought out the design is.
Pro Great classical music that's specifically composed for Bounden
The high quality music was composed explicitly for this game.
Pro Has a total of 7 dances
There are six dances plus one only released on Android.
Pro Anticipation-building, reaction-based gameplay requires quick reflexes in order to succeed
The game builds anticipation through creating a classic cowboy showdown by requiring quick reflexes to win each encounter. It's all done very intuitively - first person to tap the screen after the signal wins.
Pro Multiplayer is not a prerequisite as there is an included single player mode for practice or just fun
In the single player mode the payer has shoot outs with 10 different AI opponents, which feels more like playing against a clock than playing against an unpredictable opponent.
Pro Fair amount of replayability thanks to differing timers before you shoot
The announced time for the user to draw their gun (to shoot their opponent) varies, making for a good bit of replayability in that each shoot out is different every time.
Cons
Con Increased risk of dropping the phone
With the amount of movement needed while two people hold the device, there is an increased chance of someone dropping it. This could damage the device, if dropped.
Con Can not be played without another player
There is no single player mode as the whole design of the game is centered around two players using a singular device.
Con Has fullscreen advertisements
Fullscreen advertisements pop up on screen after every round of gameplay.
