Review:

Arcanoid originally was developed outof ping pong game where you have tomove the rocket – platform to make the ball fly up to the top of the screen andthen break the blocks. The first company that made it was Atari. The gamebecame very popular. It took a definite time to master a platform but the wholegaming process captures the player from head to toes. As computer games were developing, the arcanoid game became not onlythe popular game but also it became the name of new genre. There are hundred ofthousands of modern remakes and today we’d like to advice you to try one of thegreat arcanoid series – Strikeball III.

Alawarcompany has tried its luck and tried developing an arcanoid style game. But tomake it a simple arcanoid game was not interesting, and Alawar decided to makeit in a 3D style. The third part ofthe game was made using only moderntechnologies and a realistic physics that made a simple game just great,adding its own charm and challenge.

The mainhero of the game remained the same. Here he is a brave astronaut that travelsfar away from the Earth. He flies to one of the planets because he has tocomplete his difficult mission – he has to help the inhabitants of this planetto defeat the evil lord and his army and free the planet. As usually you are tohelp the brave pilot. To defeat the enemies you can use the magic energy ball.That ball can destroy all the objects on its way or attack the enemies.

Mind that allthe game objects behave as in real life. For example, if you strike a robot’sleg – it will fall down and can be broken into several parts. The great thing Ilike most is upgrades and bonuses. After a successful shot you can be awardedby golden stars. That can be picked up by moving the platform. These stars arenot only your trophy but also your currency that you can use at the Upgrade’sshop called Laboratory. You can purchase additionalweapons, armor or use the time bonus which can prolong the bonus actiontime and so on. There are fifty-four types of upgrades and even a discerningplayer will be satisfied.

There aresome changed which have been made to the platform – cosmo-scooter. Now it has the ability to use the magnet field. Howthis feature can be used? You can pull the ball right to your scooter. Then youcan change the trajectory of the ball so the ball can fly to the place you wantit to. Taking into account the realistic 3Dgraphics you will enjoy all the strikes and effects a lot.
