Thankfully Japanese video game veteran Taito has a little more respect for things from the past.

#ARKANOID DS REVIEW TV#

Switch on a TV set and you're likely to be bombarded with images of fresh-faced metrosexuals advertising the latest MP3 player or swanky mobile phone, while the more mature members of the population are cruelly sidelined into appearing in commercials for Werther's Originals. Until then, there are so many other great retro game collections you can pick up (especially on Switch).It's a sad fact that we live in a society that seems to be obsessed with youth and ignorant of anything old or outdated. Maybe if the game goes on sale (closer to the $20 range), then I would tell you to pick the game up if you enjoyed classic Space Invaders games. Its high price point and limited content make for a very challenging recommendation. ItвЂ™s even hard to recommend to those fans too. Unfortunately, at this point in time, I canвЂ™t recommend Space Invaders Forever to anyone except the diehard Space Invaders faithful. I didnвЂ™t experience any sort of issues with how the game looked and played in both docked mode and handheld mode. Overall, the collection itself looks and runs well on Nintendo Switch. ThereвЂ™s nothing special in this collection besides the three games, so why charge so much for them? At $40 I would tell you to move on to another game.

#ARKANOID DS REVIEW PS4#

Granted, bringing these games to Switch and PS4 will no doubt justify a slight price increase, but $40 is way too high of a price to pay for these three games. Space Invaders is $4.99 on iOS and Android, and Space Invaders Extreme is $9.99 on Xbox 360. ThatвЂ™s right, this collection of three games will set you back $40, even though you can buy two of the three included games for a CHEAPER price elsewhere. Space Invaders Forever just feels very barebones, which is made worse by the fact that the game is $40. Maybe it wasnвЂ™t intended to feel this way, but I couldnвЂ™t help but feel like there should be some museum feature in the game. ThereвЂ™s nothing special in the collection. Yet the main menu only gives you the option to select the games, and thatвЂ™s it. When you start up the game, you get the feeling that youвЂ™re about to jump into the ultimate Space Invaders collection. While it includes some fun Space Invaders games, it feels incomplete. Overall, the collection is good, but I was left feeling underwhelmed. Otherwise, itвЂ™s basically 4-player Space Invaders. ItвЂ™s the classic Space Invaders game with a few new enemy gimmicks and new stages to battle in. Space Invaders Gigamax 4 SE is also a fine title that really only shines if you have four players. I was left wanting to play just the Arkanoid or Space Invaders part of the game, not both combined together. ItвЂ™s a fun concept, but after a while, it feels way too hectic for its own good. You try breaking blocks above your character while alien enemies rain down on you. The idea of mixing the classic Arkanoid (very similar to the classic game Breakout) game with elements of Space Invaders is interesting and certainly makes for a fun first few minutes. Space Invaders, are interesting but a bit of a mixed bag. The other two titles, Space Invaders Gigamax 4 SE and Arkanoid vs. ItвЂ™s the most fun game in this collection. It can get quite hectic, but itвЂ™s a fun twist to the classic Space Invaders formula. This typically involves taking down one massive enemy while avoiding all the incoming projectiles being thrown at you.

#ARKANOID DS REVIEW UPDATE#

ItвЂ™s a very fun, modern update to the classic Space Invaders game that sees you fighting wave after wave of enemies until you reach a boss fight. I played Space Invaders Extreme back in the day on Nintendo DS and was glad to jump into it. The one thing I really enjoy about Space Invaders Forever is that all three games included are fun. Space Invaders (a mash-up of the the two classic arcade titles Arkanoid vs.

#ARKANOID DS REVIEW PORTABLE#

Space Invader Forever includes Space Invaders Extreme (previously released on Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable and Xbox Live Arcade), Space Invaders Gigamax 4 SE (a remix of the classic Space Invaders with new stages, gimmicks and 4-player support), and Arkanoid vs.

While not bad, Space Invaders Forever is a hard sell if you arenвЂ™t a massive Space Invaders fan, and even then itвЂ™s still a tough sell. Even more strange is the high price point to play these three titles. ItвЂ™s neat having three Space Invaders games come to modern consoles, but itвЂ™s odd why these three games were chosen. Space Invaders Forever falls into a strange category of neat, but IвЂ™m not sure why. ItвЂ™s a fantastic way to introduce new video game players to classic titles they might not have enjoyed or re-release a collection to fans wanting to revisit the games. Over the past few years, retro game collections have become more common things to see on modern consoles.
