At its most basic level the Block Breaker series could be considered a Breakout clone. It has nonetheless been fantastically successful and yet another example of how Gameloft can take established gametypes and create generic but well polished versions that appeal to hardcore gamers and casuals alike.
Pocket Gamer - Few arcade games have been as influential as Breakout has been since its release in 1976. Gamers of virtually every generation have been able to experience at least one of the numerous clones that it inspired.

If there’s one thing I love, it’s retro-inspired fun. Gameloft, developers of great iOS titles such as N.O.V.A. 2: Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance and Order & Chaos Online, released Block Breaker 3: Unlimited earlier today to the masses. While it doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel (or revolutionise gaming for that matter), Block Breaker 3 is a good Breakout clone with snazzy graphics and some pretty cool gameplay elements. If you’re a fan of the classic’s simplicity, you may find Block Breaker 3 to be overkill. Nevertheless, Gameloft’s retrotastic offering has solid gameplay, and its hectic nature makes for an addictive little game.
Pocket Gamer - It's been close to 40 years since Atari first introduced the world to the joys of paddle and ball video gaming with the arcade classic Pong, the game which inspired the original brick-bashing title Breakout.
