Breakout for the Sony PlayStation 1 is a modern update to the classic arcade game originally released in 1976. Genre-wise, it falls under the category of action puzzle games, where players control a paddle at the bottom of the screen to bounce a ball upwards, breaking a collection of bricks arrayed at the top. The objective is to clear all the bricks without letting the ball pass the paddle. This PS1 version, while maintaining the core mechanics, adds new levels, 3D graphics, power-ups, and varying brick layouts, injecting fresh challenges and replay value into a beloved retro formula.
