A new imagining on an old game.

Block Breaker Deluxe is a Wii game that has changed and altered what used to be a popular arcade game. There is a stick at the bottom and a ball. The ball bounces upwards and hits blocks, and you have to move the stick at the bottom to bounce the ball back up to hit the blocks yet again. The aim of the game is to clear the blocks at the top of the screen without letting the ball fall down behind your stick.

The Game Has Its Own Look And Style

The game has an 80s setting, which is probably trying to remind people that this type of game is actually old and that it used to be popular back then when arcade gaming was limited.

There are 5 areas that you may play in and each has 10 levels each. At the end of the ten levels, you have to fight a boss, but the basic game mechanic doesn’t change, i.e. you are still tasked with hitting the ball back up and not letting it drop behind your stick.

Start Slow And Earn Points

You earn points for cash that you can spend on upgrades that make the game easier. There are tune-ups and such, which include things like being able to upgrade the ball or buy lives for the game. The game has a 80s setting with 90s arcade graphics, but they have that smooth-edged modern Wii twist to them.

The game starts very slow, which supposedly helps the user get used to playing it. Most people are used to the mechanic because the game is still mildly popular enough for most people to have played one version or another. However, the first levels start off very slowly because you have to get used to playing with the Wii controller, and it can be a little tricky.

An Original Addition To The Game

There is a star pointer allows you to grab things before they reach the platform. Usually if you hit a box that has a reward in it, then you have to catch it with your stick when it falls. However, you sometimes have to avoid the reward because you need to hit your ball instead. This Wii game has eliminated that problem by allowing you to pick up rewards with a star pointer that you aim with your Wii device. It is a new twist on the classic gameplay mechanic.

Pros

  • A new way of playing the game
  • The Wii controller allows for faster reactions
  • Collecting things with the star pointer is an original idea

Cons

  • It is easy to make mistakes even if you are being delicate
  • It is not a massive innovation or change from the original game
