I think if you've never played the old version you'll like it. I would rather it have been the original version, but they tried to make it more upbeat for todays kids.
we have a game nite once a week there are 3 of us and we enjoy this one as we can all play with one card also we are all seniors and find it easy to play.
Many different levels and combinations possible before winning the game completely. Great activity to kill some time. Liked the game. Old classic with good colors and snazzy jazz tunes.
The game is really at it's best in multiplayer mode for up to four players, which is a sheer blast. For starters, the game doesn't offer too much of a challenge (I seem to remember Arkanoid being a bit harder) compared to past versions of the game, but for newcomers, this isn't anything to worry about at all. Arkanoid has pretty much always been good for a blast, and this new age Arkanoid for the DS is no different. Also featuring online leaderboards, there's much to admire here with Arkanoid on the DS, although there are some small drawbacks. All in all, Arkanoid still remains a fun time that warrants your attention and time whether you are a newcomer to the series or old veteran, and the budget price tag doesn't hurt either. Featuring a bevy of visual upgrades, new power-up's, multiplayer options, Quest and Clear modes, and unlockables; this Arkanoid warrants a try at the very least. Using the stylus as a paddle works surprisingly well (trying to use the D-pad surprisingly does not), and the game remains as simply addictive as ever.
With the recent release of this block-bouncer, many gamers are wondering if this will dominate, or just fall to pieces.Arkanoid DS, brings back the classic thrills of the simple block-busting arcade classic we've seen from the 80's, and 90's. What does add-on to the fun well, is the addition of using the online Wi-Fi gameplay, which at least prevents the gameplay from being completely boring. While we've seen mental games like Brain Age, Crosswords DS, and New Super Mario Brothers score very well, there just aren't any great games coming out right now.
There are also special weapons you get including multiball action, lasers, and many others. All in all, Arkanoid doesn't bring in too much excitement for die hard Nintendo DS fans, it certainly will bring a huge kick for older nostalig fans of classic video games. There are also boss battles here too, but they just don't change with the gameplay.
It just seems to me right now, there just aren't any great games coming out for the Nintendo DS right now, the classics have just been eating gamers away. There are over 35 levels of gameplay, which maintain being simple, as you control the game with you stylus, by holding the ship and moving it back and forth. I was really hoping there could've been more to bring back the classic bounce, but that is the way the Arkanoid ship bounces out.Graphics: BSound: C+Control: B-Fun & Enjoyment: C for solo players: C+ for multiplayerOverall: C
Instead, what we are seeing right now are just classic spin-offs from the past come alive agaiin for the handhelds DS. The gameplay is nothing new to DS owners, who've played last years' Break 'Em All which also falls similar to the gameplay.
