    I want to like Arkanoid Live. I really do. I played Arkanoid on the NES like a fiend as a little boy. This Live Arcade version suffers big time from the lack of a wheel controller like the one that was packaged with the NES version. The 360's analog stick is just not designed for moving your paddle with any speed and accuracy. It becomes a major hindrance to this otherwise faithful translation of Taito's classic. Full Review »
