Space Invaders is one of the all time game classics that any gamer simply must know, even if they missed on early 8 bit era. If by any chance you don't know what I am writing about, read about it here and play it here (also, be ashamed and hand over your gamer's licence).
At Tokyo Game Show Taito has just presented Space Invaders Extreme, a remake of the original title for Nintendo DS. The game formula has been severely altered, which is a good thing, since the original was, to put it diplomatically, not the most complicated game in the world. The game was given major graphical overhaul in the vein of Q Entertainment's recent games - different skins, different weapons, special effects flashing on the screen, combinations of strange colours and crazy electronic music made me think of Gunpey or Every Extend Extra.
The few minutes I have spent with the game went by quite fast and the game seemed to be enjoyable. I don't know, however, how about the playability and replayability of the title. I mean how long can you shoot to rows of aliens?
Oh, and while on the topic of Space Invaders - someone please get me these shoes :
