    A mighty fine take on the genre. A solid game that's worth owning.

    What's great about Break 'Em All is that it's one of those fun titles that you can take with you anywhere and play through without worrying about rushing through it too quickly.

    It's great for small bursts of play, and Survival is more fun than you might expect. It may not have the longevity of other DS titles, but for quick, easy arcade fun, this is one clone you may want to invest in.

    As for its single player component, Break 'em All has you competing against high scores, which gives the title an arcade feel that may not appeal to everyone. [Aug 2006, p.85]

    Although the game isn't the most beautiful out there, the draw is based solely on gameplay, which is rare these days.

    Break 'em All admittedly feels just as budget-oriented as the price that's attached to it. On the plus side, you're getting a solid playing and controlling Breakout clone for, at most, 20 bucks which isn't a bad deal at all.

    Break ‘Em All was released, rather smartly, as a budget game, and while it’s an amusing diversion with a nostalgic bent, it’s clear that this classic game style isn’t holding up to the test of time.

    If you want a fairly decent Breakout/Arkanoid game for the DS, this will do nicely.

You can use the triggers or stylus to move the bat and there's a mixed collection of powerups. There's a large selection of set and random levels.… Expand
