Breakout is a modern adaptation of the iconic 1976 arcade game for PlayStation. This updated version enhances the original with rich 3D environments, various power-ups, and multiple unlockable levels, while introducing a storyline. Players aim to control a paddle to keep a ball in motion, breaking through walls of bricks and other obstacles to clear the playfield.
An updated remake of the 1976 Arcade classic of the same name, Breakout for the PlayStation dispenses with the simplistic lines and dots of the original game and adds power-ups, 3D interactive worlds, multiple levels (that must be unlocked) and, of course, a storyline. Only the basic objective remains the same: maneuvering a paddle to keep a ball in play so it can ricochet off a wall of bricks (or other items in this case), effectively eliminating the bricks from the playfield.
