  • Summary: [WiiWare] Block Breaker Deluxe is a reinvention of the classic arcade brick-breaker game with a trendy graphical style, fun atmosphere and an exclusive multiplayer mode. Lively characters and amazing graphics provide distinctive settings of the jet-set nightlife, including a cool bar, dance club, casino and more. Special bricks, multiple bonuses, secret weapons, paddle size options and ball-speed variations make this game even more challenging. The Block Breaker Deluxe rage has arrived. [Gameloft] Expand

  1. Ignore all the neon '80s nonsense going on around it and this is a solid game. There's plenty of it, and it gets tough as old boots as well. [Sept 2008, p.68]
  2. Despite its flaws, Brick Breaker Deluxe is an entertaining game for the $8 purchase price.
  3. It's surprising how much fun the simple joys of bat and ball remain, and it's surprising how nothing more than a varied selection of power-ups, some cunning level design and uncluttered gameplay can still produce something so enjoyable. I downloaded it out of duty, but have kept returning to it for fun.
  4. A boring Breakout/Arkanoid rip-off in a long line of boring Breakout/Arkanoid rip-offs.

    I think the club theme is a hoot. Come on, some hottie talking about her 3rd husband in a Pong remake is just awesome. Playing with the pointer is a lot of fun and arguably better than the old "paddle" methods. I never felt cheated by the controls. Wiiware is shaping up to have some great bang for the buck... This could easily have been a decent budget title. Expand
