Space Invaders Extreme (DS) Review

[RobRich]

What a way to celebrate an anniversary. Taito's Space Invaders turns 30 this year, an absolutely huge milestone for such a young market. Clearly the company really wanted to give its property a huge send-off for its thirtieth birthday, so enter Space Invaders Extreme: the 17 bazillionth remake of the classic shooter. It may seem like "yet another remake" but honestly, it's without a doubt the greatest update to the franchise ever created. It's energetic and addictive, and does an absolutely fantastic job retaining the old-school charm of the original 1978 classic.

This is soooo addictive!
Started playing it like at 10pm a couple of weeks ago and when I turned the DS off (battery was going...) it was 1am!!! hehehehe

My opinion: Definitely one of the best updates to a retro game ever!

I agree. I wasn't expecting too much but this is a pleasant surprise. The pacing of the game is pretty good, I was worried it would become the same old gameplay and become boring but it does it all nicely
