Detailed graphics and addictive soundtrack add style to the Space Invaders experience
The gameplay stands the test of time
Not too hard or too easy
Budget price.
Beautiful graphics
Frantically fun soundtrack and all-round innovative take on an arcade classic. A decent ad-hoc multiplayer mode.
Chaotic graphics
Frantically fun soundtrack and all-round innovative take on an arcade classic. Nice multiplayer features including a simple yet fun online mode. Rumble pack compatible.
The editors didn't like
Visually confusing
Top DS screen could have been better-used
Single-player game could be longer.
Singleplayer mode is far too short
Top screen is full of meaningless gauges and meters .
With only five levels
The game can be a bit short
Not much replay value.
Some boss levels overly difficult and some elements may be lost on the long screen. No online or single-UMD multiplayer modes.

Chaotic graphics, frantically fun soundtrack and all-round innovative take on an arcade classic. Nice multiplayer features including a simple yet fun online mode. Rumble pack compatible.
Some boss levels overly difficult, compounded by two-screen split.
Abstract: 30 years later and Space Invaders is still kicking ass and taking names. Space Invaders revolutionized gaming 30 years ago. Famed Nintendo game designer Shigeru Miyamoto did not even express the slightest interest in video games until he had seen Spac...
Abstract: Space Invaders Extreme is a worthy title for anyone’s DS collection. The tried-and-true gameplay is intact but with just the right touch of refinement for anyone to pick up and enjoy. Don’t miss your chance to celebrate 30 years of gaming history by pi...
Abstract: I think the version of Space Invaders that always got the most play out of me when I was kid was the Atari 2600 version, and I'm not entirely sure I had ever played the arcade game itself. Of course, I was always a bigger fan of Galaga, but I have to s...
