Manic, eye-bursting, headache-inducing random gameplay. I cannot go anywhere than where I am up to. No menu. No options. I was sooo excited about getting this and now it has just laid on the side for weeks. Boo!
Rating: - Excellent update to a classic game
I used to play the original Space Invaders when it first appeared in the arcades way back in 1978 and, over the years, have played a great many incarnations of this classic - however, none have lived up to the addictive simplicity of the original game.
Space Invaders Extreme does though manage to successfully update the original and it's one of the few updates that actually works extremely well. I'm really impressed by Space Invaders Extreme and would heartily recommend it to players both young and old - even if you hated the original you'll love this!
Rating: - Nostalgia with a Wow
What an excellent update for a very nostalgic game - used to play this in the glass coffee tables in our local pub and before that on its own dedicated arcade machine. The graphics and sounds for this DS port are excellent. Both parts of the screen are used and there are bosses at the end of each section. The clarity and movement on screen makes it a joy to play and the authentic-type sounds are just perfect.
There are three modes 'Arcade' 'Ranking' 'Multiplayer'. On 'Arcade' which is the only one I've tried so far, there are lots of little quirky upgrades to your gun and plenty to do. Only purchased this today and am totally addicted. Well worth every penny and highly recommend.
