    At a $20 price point, Space Invaders Extreme is an absolute steal for DS/PSP owners out there. There's a lot of hidden depth to the single player experience, and you'll get a decent amount of use from the multiplayer aspect as well.

    "Groovy," "trippy"...however you want to describe it, Extreme does right by the classic. [July 2008, p.84]

    While a few faults hurt the game -- like the difficulty and meager amount of levels -- the main foundation of this title is fabulous.

    If old school blasting is your bag then you'll find more than enough here to keep you entertained.

    This is by far one of the most addicting games I've played on the DS so far. Although the game is really not much like Space Invaders -- it's more like Galaga -- it's is incredibly fun. A must have for all DS owners.… Expand

    This game is a pretty fantastic breath of life into a retro classic. The "Extreme" aspects are fantastic and the music syncing (almost perfectly) to your shots is a very nice side effect, which finds you trying to make music with your own shooting once you're done blasting aliens. Definitely worth its price.… Expand

    Great game. Adds powerups, music and flashy background animations to spice it up. Plus it's a bargain.. got it for 20$.
