Publisher's description of ArcaMania 2

From 300AD:

This family-fun brick-busting classic Arkanoid clone has more than 100 great levels in three full-graphic scenarios, more than 30 bonuses, advanced aiming, monsters, a lot of bricks in high-color graphics, effects, and sounds. Destroy all the bricks while keeping the ball on the screen. Some bricks will give you more than 30 special bonuses, such as long pad, short pad, terminator ball, fast ball, and triple ball.

• "ArcaMania 2"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: ArcaMania 2

Seeing as how there are many, many Arkanoid remakes on the scene, we can't get excited about one with a complete lack of features and a rather plain appearance. ArcaMania2 has an outer-space theme, reflected by the backgrounds and martian heads that float around the board. Other than that, gameplay is standard, with the regular assortment of power-ups and the ability to control your paddle with your keyboard or mouse. Unfortunately, the game lacks any sort of customization options, and the 2D graphics don't measure up to those of many competitors. The auras, smoke, flares, and sparks are pretty enough, but they add little to the game. All things considered, this Breakout variation is no better than average and may even be a bit below.

  "inferior arkanoid clone"

  by spazquest on September 1, 2005

  Pros: the color scheme

  Cons: mouse response poor, some graphics are crudely drawn, every time you die it plays a honky-tonk sample which is bound to get old fast.
