Space Invaders Revolution - Nintendo DS

I have always loved this game from the 80's, and now it's been updated and is even more fun. This probably won't hold fun the the younger generation, but if you loved the original game, you'll love the new revved up version even better. And oh yeah, it also has the classic original too!!

This game is the closet to the original space invaders I use to play as a child. The game is very exciting to play, there are other different version on this game to also play. The game is very addicting to play. It's awesome.

This title is a classic video game coming from the late seventies arcade scene, and the classic version of this DS game is a carbon copy of it, that some of us played in the arcades, or on the Atari, CBS and Mattel early home video game systems. The original version will not be very attractive to the younger generations, so used to good graphics and sound effects, reason why the game makers chose to create a new version of this game in addition, which comes short of being interesting, the challenges being way too limited with not that great artwork, and misuse of the DS stylus, you'll find yourself doing the same things over and over again, which is really boring over time, therefore the life span of this game will be really short for today's kids, only old timers might find an interest in this game, especially in the classic arcade version, overhaul a poor game, way too expensive at 20 bucks for the lack of fun it will provide, I bought it at 9 bucks so it was okay for the nostalgia but not at 20, skip this game, unless you played it on the arcade version back in the days.

Great game for old time gamers. Spent a lot of quarters on this classic.

Fun and lots of cool features beyond regular old version.

I love the classic Space Invaders and I always will. Having it on the DS Lite just makes it so I can play it more often. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes the classic games or for the person who wants a challange, though simple. Enjoy it!!!

Forget purchasing this one. Very boring better just remember it the way it was played before on the Atari.

"Space Invaders Revolution" is pretty much exactly what you would expect for a "budget title". The game features two different versions: "Classic" and "New Age". Classic is just as the name implies- the original "colorized" version of the 1977 video game. The sound effects and visuals are arcade-perfect... which you would expect on a system like the DS. The game plays on the top screen. The touch screen is used for turning an Auto Fire option on or off, or for turning a cross-hair on that is supposed to assist in firing at the UFO's, but it's more of a hindrance than anything.New Age is nothing more than various "missions", which are variations on the Invaders theme. On some levels, the Invaders disappear momentarily then reappear. While they disappear, they can not be hit. Another mission has a cannon like yours firing from the top of the screen. Yet another features a "giant invader", which consists of various blocks which must be hit in order to defeat it. And each of these take place against a different country's background. While the backgrounds are nice, the Invaders themselves are the same as the ones in Classic mode. The Touch Screen is used for Power Ups which are earned by playing Classic mode... so the whole set-up is kind of confusing.Fans of the original and fans of retro gaming will probably enjoy this title. I am still on the fence. It's fun, but I keep finding myself going back to Nanostray or the reworked Galaga on PSP's Namco Museum for my shoot-em-up action.
