After delighting iPhone owners with games like Asphalt 4 and Real Football (Soccer) 2009, Gameloft, one of the best-known mobile developers, has released Block Breaker Deluxe 2 for the iPhone and iPod touch. Priced at $4.99, the game is immediately available for download from the iTunes App Store.

Touted as the perfect choice for those in love with puzzle and arcade games such as Arkanoid, Breakout, Tetris, and Bejeweled, Block Breaker Deluxe 2 for iPhone boasts “the most intuitive, trendy, and technically accomplished take on the well-known arcade classic to date,” according to Gameloft's description of the game, up on the iTunes App Store.

Besides using the iPhone's accelerometer to offer some surprising re-arrangements of the blocks on-screen, Block Breaker Deluxe 2 also has players using the device's touch-screen capabilities to control the pad and catch falling bonus items, which can be good or bad, so be careful what you pick up. The game can be played by one, or two players (on the same device), while a level generator delivers a different stage every time the feature is enabled.

Main features of Block Breaker Deluxe 2 for iPhone include:

- More modes, levels, power-ups, challenges, bosses, and surprises than any game of the genre. - Dynamic bricks and obstacles, all designed in 3D with next-gen visual effects. - Use the touch screen to intuitively control the pad and directly grab bonus items as they fall. - Accelerometer allows you to re-arrange or rotate brick formations by simply tilting the iPhone. - Infinite replay value thanks to a random level generator in Endless Mode. - Multi-player mode allowing two people to face off in real-time matches on the same iPhone.

Block Breaker Deluxe 2 is available in English, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and can be played on both iPhone and iPod touch. The only requirement is firmware 2.0 or higher (currently available at 2.1).
