Missile Command Review
Missile Command was released on the Xbox Live Arcade yesterday. The game play, for those 2 people out there not familiar with it, is just what the title says. You command some defensive towers to keep incoming missile attacks from hitting your cities. The game was originally released in 1980 by Atari. The Xbox Live Arcade version has both the original version and a version with enhanced graphics. The new graphical version looks good for a game where the screen is pretty much the same all the time. The game is pretty simple to play. You control the targeting reticle with the thumb stick and shoot with the A, X, and B buttons. As the levels progress there are more and more incoming attacks to deal with. The game is fun for about 20 minutes, but I’m not sure that anyone will play this game for hours on end. If you’re a big fan of the original this updated version plays the same but looks a lot better. For everyone else save your $5 for something better. If you are set on getting this one the achievements are mostly get to a certain level or get a specific high score. They all look like they are pretty doable.
