Space Invaders Extreme Impressions
I’ve been playing a lot of Space Invaders Extreme since it released. It is the first Xbox Live Arcade game I purchased for quite a while. I’m really enjoying what all they’ve added to one of the few classic arcade games I’d still throw my quarters in. The graphics in Extreme look great. They have the feel of the original but in nicely done HD. I really like the bonus levels you can unlock as well as the weapon power ups. If you use them right, and remeber to conserve the power ups by hitting the Right Bumper, you can take out entire waves of enemies in seconds with a couple shots. I also like that you can earn power ups any time just by killing four enemies of the same color in a row. Follow that up by four of another color and you get a “Break” bonus level that you can then get the even better Fever power up unlocked. The levels get more and more challenging, but never to the point where I felt like it was impossible. The levels are short enough too that you can play for ten or twenty minutes and have a blast. Between the various power ups, bonus levels, and bosses the game never slows down and never gives you a break. It is all non-stop action from start to finish. I would recommend it to any fans of vertical shooters because it is well made and lots of fun.
