Update: April 7, 2006 «©NCSX» Seven mythical monsters and their underlings are wrecking the peace in the world. They must be stopped and a single champion in the form of a winged dragon takes to the skies on a mission of destruction. By invading and smashing the destructive beasts on their home turf, our heroic dragon works to bring peace back in the world. It won't be easy however and much skill and deft handling is required to attack enemies and fend off their counterattacks. D3 Publisher's series of "The Block Kuzushi" games on the original Playstation and the PS2 are based on parent company Taito's Arkanoid brand where a paddle smacks a ball at blocks in the distance. Anyone who's ever played PONG or Breakout will find the game format familiar. The Block Kuzushi games have been met with acceptable sales through the years. When NCS uses the word "acceptable," we imply that sales have been good enough to goad D3P into creating more Block Kuzushi games since they're guaranteed a certain return on investment for the company. For the PSP version of Block Kuzushi, a quest is dreamt up by the developers to accompany the action where a winged dragon paddle bats power balls at colorful blocks as well as big bosses that attack with vigor and special blasts. The aim of the game is to always keep the ball in play while defending the lower area of the screen. If the ball escapes, all is lost.
