WTMG's Aaron Price: "I suppose the real question to ask is, did Breakout need this much of an overhaul from the original concept? The honest answer is no. First off, Pong-style paddle-on-the-side gameplay makes the perspective of the game really difficult mixed with the CRT view. Second, the scrolling screen is an interesting concept, but feels like a faulty premise overall."
Neil writes: "Breakout Beyond delivers a bit of a unique take on an old classic. It may look to reinvent, but ultimately this is Breakout, flipped."
"Breakout Beyond is a fast-paced game, one that we feel is probably a bit too fast" I could feel it.
The ball and paddle formula goes next level in Atari's latest.
