Pocket Gamer: Magic Orbz is a cheerily presented Breakout clone that adds physics-based destruction and some fun power-ups to the mix. But, it's still a Breakout clone.
Magic Orbz (formerly known as Magic Ball) is a PS3 downloadable title from Creat Studios based off the PC game Magic Ball 3. At it’s core it’s a breakout clone, but for me that’s what makes the game so enjoyable.
Its a good game that I was able to play with my girlfriend, which is good cause there aren't many she enjoys.
PSUni: "Magic Orbz is a break ball game made by Creat Studios that has the twist of being rendered in 3D with both vertically and horizontally constructed levels. The walls to break in this game are both classic brick-like objects and random things like blades of grass (in the grassy stage), pirates, trees, and cats. Every living thing you hit has a sound effect, but most get annoying after the first time.
There seems to be a physics engine that makes stacked blocks and things fall as you break their foundation. This physics feature often makes walls of blocks fall leading to either infuriating walls that end up in multiple deaths, or massive combos that are often invisible behind most of the level."
