As a whole, Arkanoid is addictive and even though it's not the only retro title Taito has released lately, for my money it's the best one.
It's easier to play on the touch-screen than the d-pad, and the visuals and music are cool, with the option to buy additional backgrounds and tunes in later levels.

There are so many cheaper, better versions in existence that it’s very hard to recommend. [Sept 2008, p.125]
The Paddle Controller was the only thing this title had going for it in its Japanese release, and with it taken away in the US version you can see that Arkanoid DS just doesn't have what it takes to be the true Breakout clone.
And thanks to poor ball physics, the ball can quickly get stuck in a "loop" of identical bounces against indestructible blocks if you're unlucky.

Compete against others with two or four person multiplayer options to claim the title of ARKANOID DS champion.
