Can this Arkanoid clone match the block-breaking fun of its predecessors?

Arkanoid clones were two-a-penny many years ago, particularly on home computers; however gamers have not been treated to many games like this in recent times. It would seem the timing is perfect for Gameloft to bring the first game in their successful..

But for 800 points, Slionr? You'd have more fun with a SNES or Genesis game.

This seems more interesting than the other Gameloft games. There TV Show King game seems alright but the other two, not so much. I Have this game called Winbrick 96 on my computer (first of a series) and this reminds me of that. Then again, it is a Breakout/Arkanoid clone.

@ pdrydia: LOL

This is a mobile type of game, or GBA. It's not going to be worth 800 WP mabey 300.

You can buy this same game on your ipod at Itunes for 5 bucks. But I wouldn't buy either game cause i dont think they're much fun.

This game is also included in the upcoming DS game Midnight Play! Pack.

Um, is there a reason why nearly every Wiiware game is 280-something blocks in file size? Esp the 2D games...

They really need to compress the graphics/audio in these games, because I know it's not the program code and level data - They should use vectors instead of bitmaps; midi-synth instead of wave - I only have 48 blocks available on my Wii, and I don't feel like "swapping" files to the SD card either, unless something really good like SMRPG or Tetris Wiiware comes out.

Arkanoid is enough Breakout for me. I bet Arkanoid is just as good, too. And what's with the Vegas motif and the unnecessary characters?

@StarDust
Alas, the art of writing efficient code and compressing file sizes is long dead. Both this and Cocoto are far, far too big for what they are. This one fits on a CELL PHONE, why is it so huge? All I can think is that Wiiware games are low budget titles, and all that optimization is time consuming and costly. :(

too bad I got this game for free on my Blackberry 2 years ago under the name of Brick Breaker and before that, i had it on my old black and white macintosh when i was in elementary school.

The videos make it look like alot of fun with the wii pointer.

Yep. I read their review last night at 11:45 before going to bed on PSP.

I think their rating was well-justified, honestly.
Their review helped me put things in perspective a bit but I'm still torn. I'm waiting for WWW's Review to get a second opinion since I generally don't trust Critic Reviews. I mostly just want to confirm if my thoughts about the game (i.e., it's sustainability and gameplay) are what I'm expecting from it and if I'll be in for a surprise or not, that's all. I've been thinking this through.

Looks fun and seems like a good value considering the price. I've only played the original Breakout, as well as a Flash-based remake, and my phone won't play games anyways, so I think I'll get this one. Have to wait a little while though, I don't want any thing to distract me during exam week.

Javanoid! That's what this game reminds me of! That game was tons of fun and required you to use your mouse to control the paddle! Tons of fun!

One of the best mobile phone games on Wii? Might be good.
