Crackout reviews and comments
Do you like crack? Well then you're gonna like this game! Probably.
Personally not a huge fan of Breakout in the first place, but this game had some different elements, such as enemies and bosses. Well they don't really kill you directly, but bouncing your ball on them will most certainly make them warp somewhere you cannot reach. There are power ups but some are just plain useless, the best being one that makes your ball shoot more balls and the other that makes it a piercing ball.
There's not much to say about this game at all, I'd rather play Google's breakout instead. Or break out of prison. I'm tired of this place.
Overall, rating out of 100:
Story: 0
Boing boing boing.
Gameplay: 15
It's breakout but on crack.
Graphics: 15
The graphics are preeety nice for a NES game.
Sound/Music: 10
Satisfying to pop the blocc, that's all that matters.
That leaves Crackout with a rectangle-breaking score of 40 out of 400! Crack, out. Now. Go.
