Fun:
This game is absolutely brilliant - perfect for the DS.
It is a very old-school shoot-em-up of the highest order, similar to Smash TV and Robotron. The action is fact-paced and frenetic. The gameplay is simple - survive for as long as you can by defeating wave after wave of geometrical shapes. If that sounds boring then think again. Simple vector shapes have been used to allow the DS to get as many enemies on screen at once. This means that you get some epic shoot outs as the screen fills up in a psychedelic explosion of colour and action.
There are loads of levels and extras to unlock which add to the longevity, but this is basically just pure action at its simple best. It would have been nice to have levels where the aim is to clear each stage, but as it is the fighting is relentless, with wave after wave of enemies attacking you. At first it seems hard to acieve the top scores (to win the elusive gold medals) but you soon realise that the points system means that the longer you survive and more tokens you collect, the quicker your score goes up. This means that once you learn how to play, you soon start to rack up massive scores.
The good thing about this game is that you can just pick it up and have a quick blast for a few minutes. You can try to beat your own score or compete with people across the world using the wi-fi leaderboard.
An absolute classic - one of my favourite DS games and a real steal at under a tenner!

Fun:
Excellent pick up & play old skool shooting game. The only problems I have with it is the soundtrack is pretty bad but stick your i-pod on & turn the sound up & your soon be sucked into this addictive little shoot em up.

Fun:
If ever there was a perfect pick up and play title, this is it.
If I only have a few minutes to play with my DS, this game is my choice at the moment.
This game is also available for the Wii, and content can be downloaded.
I have not done this yet, and I would be interested to know what content is available.
The music, the visuals, the upgrades, and the difficulty curve all make it a pleasure to play.
Boy, do I love old school blasters.

Should have bought Space Invaders.
I found this game very repetitive and it didn't hold my interest really. Perhaps the graphics were a little to simple for my taste. Read more

Silky smooth fun
A retro two-dimensional format may not seemingly appeal to all "shoot-em-up" game users, but there is something addictive about this game. Read more

Intense blasting action!
If you like 'old school' shooters then you'll like this. It reminds me of Robotron and Asteroids.
The standout feature for me is the use of the stylus to shoot with. Read more
