All being said, this is a disappointing game. Taito had the chance to reinvent their classic franchise and took the easy way out instead. What may have been great back in 1978 really shows its age now with its comparatively slow and repetitive gameplay. If you want to enjoy Space Invaders nowadays, do yourself a favour and track down Space Invaders Extreme on the DS or PSP, this up-to-date remake retains everything good about the original and mixes it up with modern shoot-em-up elements to make for a far superior game.
