Death By Robots – Review: Star Raiders
Robb Crampton for DBR writes: Every retro-head like me really looks forward to reboots of classic old games, particularly when they come from one of the Gods of video gaming, Atari. So, when I heard about the reboot of Star Raiders I immediately shoved my hand in the air to do a review.
The minute you load this game, if you know anything about the classic history of videogames, you think “oh cool, is it Colony Wars? Or could it be Elite? Or should it dare to be X-Wing?” Sadly, frankly, it’s not a patch on any of the above; it’s merely a long lost distant cousin of the old Atari 8-bit game. State of the art it was then, but is the reboot just a bit of a state?
