'' A CLASSIC GAME MADE BETTER '' !!!Feb 03, 2002
By R. JANKOWSKI
"HORROR FAN"
I LOVED THE OLD '' SPACE INVADERS '' GAME AS A KID . AND SPENT MANY AN HOUR AT THE LOCAL ARCADE . SO I SNATCHED THIS UP AS SOON AS I SAW IT IN THE STORE . I HAVEN'T HAD SO MUCH FUN PLAYING A SPACE GAME IN AGES ! THE GRAPHICS ARE REALLY COOL- AND YOU GET LOTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF SHIPS TO DESTROY. PLUS AS A BONUS- YOU CAN DESTROY MOTHER SHIPS THAT PASS BY , IN ORDER TO GET EXTRA LIVES OR SPECIAL POWERUPS . THIS MAKES DESTROYING ENEMY SHIPS ALL THE MORE FUN !AND THERE ARE EVEN ENEMY SHIPS THAT HAVE THEIR OWN DEADLY COUNTERATTACKS .NOT TO MENTION LOTS OF COOL BOSSES TO FIGHT !! SO IF YOU WANT A COOL GAME THAT BLOWS AWAY A CLASSIC OLD TIME ARCADE FAVORITE , THEN LOOK NO FURTHER.. YOU'LL PLAY IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN .. AND YOU CAN EVEN UNLOCK THE CLASSIC GAME TO PLAY AS WELL.. SO GRAB THIS ONE UP . AT THE LOW PRICE IT IS SELLING FOR , IT 'S A REAL GOOD BUY !!

Fun RevisitedNov 28, 2000
I saw this game last year, but for some reason I didn't pick it up. I thought it would be one of retro games where the gameplay is entirely revamped, but boy was I wrong. Has the game changed? Yes, but for the better. I would say it's more of an enhacement than a change. The greatest thing that Activision has done to this game was to keep the hyper-addictive gameplay that made the original like a magnet for my quarters. I LOVE THIS GAME!

Well worth the wait!Dec 21, 1999
A nice feature in this game is 2 players can play simultaneously. Also the alien creature you fight are different looking and after you hit so many of a particular creature in a row you get a special power bomb that has different explosive capabilites. Even though the game gets a little monotenous, it has enough to keep you interested. The old game is even embedded if you want to play the classic. After viewing the old one, I can't believe why millions of us ever pumped quarter after quarter into those old arcade machines after you see the remake. I highly recommend, it is fun for all ages.

Quick fun for all ages!Sep 18, 2001

Out favorite game! The simplicity of Space Invaders is the most rewarding part (No MBA needed to digest the manual). My 5 year old and I take on the aliens and then face the eventual "BOSS" of each level. 2 players can play as a team and that makes for much more enjoyable play, especially with kids (who wants to beat or be beaten by your kids?) An enjoyable video clip at the beginning takes you back to the early battle of 1978 and then it is up to you to defend Earth as the re-invasion begins. This game has come a long way!
Hoping for a sequel!!

Entertaining but too easySep 21, 2000
By M. Moffatt This is a much swept-up version of the old Space Invaders game; the graphics are gorgeous and the sound effects entertaining. There are end-of-level bosses to take care of and many power-up weapons to collect that provide you with more fire-power.
I would have given this game 5 stars except it's too easy to beat! The game keeps track of how long you've been playing and when I finished the game it said I'd spent 58 minutes of playing time (and I'm not a particularly good gamer!)
