    Though it's not a revolutionary upgrade to the long-running series, Arkanoid Plus! offers an accessible, energetic and pretty addictive new installment for the racquetball-inspired franchise that is well worth its asking price of just six bucks.
  2. Arkanoid Plus! is another fine addition to Taito's series of classic franchise remakes. It doesn't really do anything special or new, but it doesn't have to: the core game is just as addictive as it's always been.

    It was great back in the day but time hasn't been too kind to Arkanoid. [Nov 2009, p.102]
  4. Taito didn’t add anything new to the formula, but Arkanoid Plus! will provide straightforward arcade entertainment in short bursts, as long as you don’t go in expecting a revolutionary experience.

This is a serviceable, fun update to the paddle-and-ball-bouncing games which would be more at home on a smart-phone or tablet, but if you're like me and have neither, you can't go wrong with this version. I would love to see Square Enix bring an HD version to the Wii U with live leader boards and online competition. Full Review »
