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.

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.

Abstract: What a way to celebrate an anniversary. Taitos 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 I...
Abstract: If 1978 seems positively prehistoric to modern gamers, they'll probably have some trouble parsing Space Invaders' legacy. A monochrome, two-dimensional turret simulator might not seem that enthralling these days, but this simple shooter serves as a cru...
