    Ahh, Space invaders. Unfortunately I imported and played the Japanese one, so the game may be subject to changes after localization. I have put up its U.S. release date.It's one of those classic games that we never know if the remakes are goo. Well it's a great remake. It's fun and addictive, I spent many hours playing it. I really liked it. This is going to be short and sweet.


    Presentation - 5/10 No story, absolutely none. Sorry it lost points here. It got five points for a purely repetitive but addicting presentation though.

    Graphics - 7/10 I love the graphics. Surprisingly refreshing with a the seizure causing lights and flashes(Just kidding)

    Gameplay - 8/10 I love shooting things and that's what made this game totally awesome. You'll get to shoot certain targets which bring you to a bonus stage. You also get power-ups such a a huge laser beam, or a multi-shot but they have a time limit. This whole game is about shooting enemies. I liked it a lot, it was like a drug to me. The bosses are very creative and they are hard, especially the last one.

    Here's one of the bosses:

    Sound - 7/10 Just some fast action paced music. The kind that wants to get you pumped or feeling crazy. I don't really know cause I felt both. After playing I jumped on a trampoline.

    Replayability 9/10 You can alter the difficulty and the stages. There is also different routes to take during arcade mode. After you can play on nintendo wi-fi against others with their FC. Lot's of fun.

    Wi-fi game:

    Overall:
    I would actually advise you not to buy it but rather wait until after it's U.S. release and rent it or borrow it from a friend for a long roadtrip.

    36/50, Rent it.. that's all

    What's wrong with the old games?
