CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
The original Krakout was not the first or the best Arkanoid clone, but it definitely stood out. Likewise, the imagination evidenced by Krakout Unlimited 2 brings it to the head of its class. For example, the ball is not just a dot that breaks bricks and bounces off walls--it's a small character that always looks where it's going and laughs with delight when you complete a level. Bricks do not just disappear, they break into pieces or fall down, sometimes in groups. Another cute feature is the bee that flies to your paddle and tries to bite it. That bee gives you the ability to hold the ball, but the next bee will steal this ability. If you lose the ball three times, a message will appear saying, "The demo version ends here," forcing you to start the level again. Of course, you do that anyway when you fail to clear a level, so the message is redundant. The unique look and brilliant modifications make this game demo worth the download.Publisher's description
From master creating :Krakout Unlimited 2 is a remake of the popular C64 arcade game Krakout. Blast your way through unlimited, always-different levels; use tons of cool items; and break the high score and publish it online at www.krakout.com. Fight funny enemies and play together or even against a friend over a network or simultaniously on one PC. The game features 1024-by-768 true color, completly 3D-rendered graphics, 3D accelerator support for advanced light and transparency effects, a 3D sound system, a soundtrack by Reptile + Sky, a physics engine for realistic bouncing balls, gravity, and much more. Play left or right, with a blue or a pink paddle, or even with a male or a female ball.
CNET Editor's Note: In the trial version, the game stops after the third level, and has only one of 12 wallpapers; only one of 16 music tracks; no network support; and only a small percentage of the enemies, bricks, and extras. Also, you cannot publish your high score online.
