Space Ark is a charming hybrid of a handful of classic arcade games. Its combination of score-beating arcade mentality, and devious puzzle elements in the later stages, make it shine against the murky backdrop of lesser XBLA titles.
If Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands and Arkanoid had a saucy three-way, Space Ark would be the love child.
Overall, Space Ark is an enjoyable title and a great addition to Xbox Live Arcade. It’s a new take on an old formula and the developer has succeeded in creating a enjoyable title.
But the game\'s appeal is short-lived despite its unusually large amount of content, and its lack of an addictive gameplay hook won\'t knock Peggle off its pedestal any time soon.
Though Space Ark is a visual riot of bright pastels, sparkly special effects, and supermarket-circular-burst graphics, it\'d be a stretch to say it ever becomes truly exciting. [July 2010, p.85]
Space Ark is undeniably catchy, but too much repetition and too much cuteness can spoil the party.
If someone were to ask me why they should buy Space Ark I would ask them if they really love to play games to compete on leaderboards and then I would ask them if they have superhuman patience and Arkanoid skills. That\'s the type of gamer that will likely enjoy this experience, the same ones that enjoyed the heyday of the Arcade. Old busted cabinets and all.
