Gaming Nexus: Space Invaders Extreme 2 Review

Arcade remakes typically aren’t all that good but last year’s Space Invaders Extreme caught me off guard by being stylish, addictive and challenging. It did everything right in reworking the arcade original into a much deeper modern interpretation, and apparently gamers voted with their wallets for a sequel. Taito has responded with more of the same, a lot more, and if that’s what you wanted then Extreme 2 is your dream come true. If you wanted a huge innovation over the first Space Invaders Extreme, then you might be disappointed.
