Arkanoid - Eternal Battle - 12 Player [AI] + Neo + Retro Sample PS5 Gameplay
0My mini review:
=============
I HATE the controls in this game! They are absolutely terrible. I'd say Arkanoid MUST be played via paddle/spinner controls, but I've played plenty of brick breakers which control well, but Taito didn't bother to tweak the controls for an analog stick.
The original Arkanoid arcade game, called RETRO on here is barely playable! They attempted to fix the bad control by having the L & R triggers move the paddle in a turbo style, so that is mostly useless! Had they simply added the ability to press X to give your paddle 2x speed it would have made much more sense. There are also no video options to be found here. Not only is there no CRT filter options, but you are also stuck with a static over-the-shoulder view of a rendered arcade cab with a small window for the game... Why?!? Any classic game without an option for full screen, no blur filter, and black background, is just no good IMO.
Neo is Retro with barely any new touches. One new power-up, IIRC. Uninspired, at best.
Eternal Battle is clearly the big draw here. After waiting an "eternity" for players to join [spoiler....there were none] it added 11 A. I. players. It looks and sounds basic.
