If you're looking for a great ball-bouncing brick-breaking game for the PC then look somewhere else. The graphics are pretty but the controls are horrible. Add to that a game that will only take you about 2 hours to go through and you have a major disappointment.
HOWEVER, if you ARE looking for a great ball-bouncing brick-breaking game for the PC (that's similar to the classic arcade game Arkanoid) then go download the shareware game DX-Ball. Or better yet, DX-Ball 2!
Whatever you do, stay away from this game because the controls are guarenteed to frustrate everyone who plays it.

This game is a new version of the old often-used Atari game (i.e. Putt-Putt's Balloon-o-rama, Animaniacs Game Pack). The music is neat (it's CD playable), and the game is fun. I would recommend it, especially if you liked the old one.
Not a 3D version of the old Breakout

As a fan and former addict of Breakout type games, I bought this thinking it would just be a new 3D version of the old Breakout/Super Breakout games, with nice graphics. Instead it had puzzles you had to complete, and you had to run from bad guys, and stuff like that. I was able to complete the whole game in a day or two, and had no desire to play it again.
The controls stink!

I totally agree with the previous reviewer. I hate the controls on this game. I've tried the keyboard and mouse and both impede enjoyment of the game. They need to rework this function!
It knocks you out...

This is a really enjoyable game with a variety of levels, and the graphics are superb.
It is the classic arcade game in 3D, with a variety of characters which makes gameplay even more exciting.
