 Space Invaders Is Back! September 10, 2008
Great game. Just like the old one with a modern twist. Addicting just like the old one too!
 CRAZY FUN! September 5, 2008
I found it in the bargain bin when it was released and thought "Wow my grandma's game again." I decided to try it and was pleasantly surprised. I am now entranced.. I love the lights and sound and if you add the rumble cart (not included) It becomes the most satisfying casual game play ever invented. The controls are simple with left hand move and right hand shoot and as simple as that sounds it's not. I am left frothing in anticipation for more!
It's Space Invaders. It's Extreme. It's great. August 4, 2008
Taito's classic that started it all gets a facelift, and the final product is a nicely priced must-play.
Merits :-) Great soundtrack, Addictive, Great Value, Great replayability, Outstanding update on a classic
Demerits :-( Bad online community
If you have ever played any variation of Space Invaders but not this one, there are people laughing at you as we speak. It's not me. I swear. Don't look now, but the old classic from yesteryear is back and better than ever. Why, it may be better than the orignal. Don't let the old timers hear that though.
Think of it this way: The original Space Invaders is a Cadillac. Space Invaders Extreme is a Porsche. One of the first things you will notice is the techno music, which is outstanding. The graphics are colorful. There's actual strategy playing into the mix. Hitting 4 of the same color invader drops a power-up. There are bonus stages and bosses. The game is a steal for $20. You will be replaying the modes forev3r and ev3r. Well, maybe not, but the game has some serious replay value, maybe even more than the original. Have you said "Wow" yet?
The only bad thing about this game is the weak online community. The Vs. mode pits 1 on 1 to see who can last the longest. It's surprisingly addictive despite being so narrow. The only problem is it takes 2 people to play, which means you'll be sitting in the lobby for a couple of minutes before someone finally gets on. Single-card play helps if you have a DS wielding buddy. Sw33t.
Space Invaders Extreme is an achivement in handheld gaming. The updated classic holds its own in more ways than one and then some, and the portability means the most superior version of Space Invaders ever is in your front pocket. Or bookbag. You buy now, yes?
Final Line: 9.1/10, D4NG3R's Gold Medal, DS Top Pick
EXTREME SPACE INVADERS ROCKS! July 21, 2008
I AM AN OLD SPACE INVADERS ARCADE FAN, I REMEMBER THE DAYS OF GOING TO THE CANDY STORE WHEN I WAS A KID, PLAYING SPACE INVADERS, DONKEY KONG, CENTIPEDE & MISSILE COMMAND. I NEVER WAS ANY GOOD AT THE ADVANCED LEVELS OF ANY OF THOSE GAMES(THANK GOD FOR POKEMON). THEN I CAUGHT A DEMO OF THIS AND I KNEW I HAD TO HAVE IT. AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS A QUICK REVISIT TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS AND THEN HAVE THEIR CHAIR KICKED OUT FROM UNDER THEM...THIS IS IT! THIS GAME BLOWS THE ORIGINAL OUT OF THE BALLPARK! A MILLION THUMBS UP!!!!
cool game July 20, 2008
It was a great game! It is a little hard without the paddle but still enjoyable. It even has some great multiplayer on one cartridge! Great game would recommend to anyone.
