Arkanoid DS hands-on at Gamespot.

"Like Space Invaders Extreme, Arkanoid is another classic table-top arcade title that has been given a new lease on life with the impending release of the game for the Nintendo DS handheld.

Chances are if you've owned a PC, console, or in some cases a mobile phone, you've probably played Arkanoid, even if you don't know it under that name. For the uninitiated, the general gist is that you take control of a small paddle and bounce a ball upwards trying to destroy all the blocks on the playfield. Provided you can keep the ball moving it continues to speed up, making it progressively tougher to keep it from getting past you. In the meantime, power-ups and penalty items continue to rain down randomly from the blocks as you destroy them. Some provide you bonuses like lengthening your paddle to cover more ground, extra firepower by letting you shoot at blocks with bullets, and a special type of ball that ignores collision with the blocks and simply rolls its way through everything in its path."
