For the price that Hyperballoid HD is being offered for, casual gamers can't really go wrong with the game. There's plenty of levels to go through, the game is aesthetically pleasing and the gameplay is fairly addictive and dynamic, so for its asking price of $6.95 AUD it's definitely a steal. The more hardcore of gamers will likely grow tired of Hyperballoid HD and look for something with more meat on the bone, but casual gamers can rejoice as the game hooks you quite easily, and the entire family can get into it without issue.

Exciting news for Hyperballoid HD fans: the Original World Campaign downloadable content (DLC) will be included in today's European PlayStation Network update. The Original World Campaign DLC gives players access to fifty new levels for Hyperballoid HD, the addictive brick-breaker that launched in Europe last December.
The ArmChair Empire: Such a simple concept for a game: bounce a sphere off a paddle into “bricks” with the goal being to entirely clear the level of each and every last one. First with Breakout and even more so with Arakanoid, it became known as the brick-breaker game, relatively popular in the early, early days of gaming in the 1970s and 1980s.
Gamer 2.0 writes: "With a number of games with twists to the brick-breaking formula having appeared on PSN in the past year, it’s surprising to see that nothing more traditional has been released on PSN in the last three years. Hyperballoid HD is the new PS3 iteration of a PC line of Arkanoid clones from Alawar Entertainment, which offers about 100 new levels for just $4.99. While the game is cheap, it does come with some unfortunate issues that keep it from being a perfect purchase for a cheap price."
