Essentially the formula is pretty much the same - you control a 'laser base' at the bottom of the screen which shoots aliens who are actively seeking to invade your space. Now, while these interlopers have mastered interstellar travel, they lack the basic ability to fly directly at their intended targets - and so they cha-cha themselves toward you en masse (must've taken them fricken eons to shuffle their way to Earth)."
+Ludicrously addictive action
+Improves original, doesn't ruin it
+Solid wireless multiplayer modes
+Phat interactive beats
-Can confuse your retinas at times
