I am a fan of Arkanoid on the NES (Nintendo System) and I love playing 'ping pong' type of a game where you move the paddle to catch the ball and bounce it back up and forth, hitting blocks or bricks along the way. I recently bought Break 'Em for the DS and found it okay. I beat the game. It had no variety but it was a bit challenging. I figured since I won the game, why keep playing it and looked for another one. So then I saw Nervous Brickdown for the DS and it sounded interesting. I was surprised at the variety of ways to play 'ping pong' in different forms. It kept me going. Each 'world' has 9 games that increases it's difficulty a bit each time then ends with a boss at the end. The worlds were different from the others. It is exactly as they describe it. Drawing the paddle with the curser was cute. Blowing the ball up is unique that I've never done before. It is not too easy or too hard on most worlds. One world is very difficult - the Retro World, I think it's called, where you have to watch 2 or 3 things at the same time. I'm telling myself, man, who can do that? It's like that trick most people can't do, patting your head and make a circular motion with your hand on your stomach at the same time! So I'm having fun trying to beat Retro World! (Update! - I finally beat Retro World! That was fun!) Definitely a keeper! Keeps you amused and addicting!Read full review
This is actually a really really fun title.....similiar to the old Arkanoid games, but updated with great level design and quirky ideas as well as boss battles to bring it up to today's standards of fun. One of the things that I like about this game is that it saves often and you can play little bursts of the game (on a trip etc.) at a time. It is also a game that the whole family will enjoy....it is starting to become scarce as well, so pick this up if you get the chance...you won't be disappointed.
It was very good loved it

I bought this game for my 12 yo daughter. I would say that it may be a little slower pace for this age group but as an adult I actually really enjoy playing it, kind of reminds me of the old arcade games.
