IGN reviews are best in town. I am checking old review of Block Breaker -

Breakout is still a fun and frantic game to play, even if its roots are three decades old. Block Breaker Deluxe is one of the better clones of Breakout to hit the scene, offering a well-produced take with some cool twists to the core theme. Shame it all has to be sullied a bit with the awkward “nightlife” theme. It’s not enough to be a complete turn-off; Block Breaker Deluxe is definitely worth the 800 point investment.
