There is no big exposition (Well ok, Peggle makes a good argument), no amazingly deep contextual feedback and most times no story involved. Most people think that old-school stylized arcade titles are now sitting firmly in the realm of the casual market and they would be right. But what about the days when we marveled at how we could bounce a dot from one side of the screen to the other. It used to be all about score wars and with it came the bragging rights. Well it definitely doesn’t sit on a pedestal as high as Pong and the like, but the core innards of Space Ark were transplanted right out of a worn and stained tabletop Arkanoid unit from the 1980’s. You’ve seen them. The ones still sitting at the back of the local Mom and Pop diners. No, I don’t think they power on anymore either, especially following its lobotomy for Space Ark."
Daav from NoobFeed.com plays the Pc version of Xbox 360 indie game Space Ark. At least, that's the intention before realizing that Space Ark on PC is actually still Space Ark on Xbox 360, but now on a PC. It's the straightest port possible, menus and all.
CalmDownTom says, "The story behind the game is some completely nuts nonsense about space animals born from eggs that have to collect DNA crystals. Suffice it to say that’s not a great explanation of the story, but its not too likely you will care much."
BeefJack: "Space Ark is a good-looking and functional game, but a brain-breaking controls scheme, bland music and forgettable level design hold it back from being anything special. It’s a rubbish PC port, too."
