In addition to the welcome multiplayer action featured in Arkanoid Live!, Taito also included a rule set different than original coin-op version.

Arkanoid's a fun game that can best be described as looking a little "frumpy" on XBLA.

Arkanoid is Breakout without the boredom. Well, without as much. [May 2009, p.83]

This XBLA update of the classic brick-breaker is let down by poor presentation and imprecise controls.

Arkanoid Live is good for some occasional casual fun -- as it's always been and always will be -- but with an iffy aesthetic and not much more variety outside of a standard two-player versus mode, it's probably not something you'll want to boot up often.

Space Invaders Extreme took basic game play into an enjoyable online extravaganza; Arkanoid Live hasn’t really evolved Arkanoid at all. In fact, apart from the little polish on the menu and a multiplayer option, the game is pretty much the same as I played 15 years ago!

Of the two Taito releases this is the weaker with little new on offer to tempt fans of the classic and new gamers to the world of Arkanoid.

A solid enough conversion. [Issue#46, p.101]

Laughably outdated and, worse, overpriced. [Aug 2009, p.103]
