    Three versions of the first side-scrolling shooter give Defender for the GBA old-school flair. [Feb 2003, p.160]

    The updates really don’t do anything to improve the gameplay and in some cases actually detract from it.

    Good variety, no sound, and a flawed concept.

    The graphics are simply poor. The sound is painful to the ears at time, although it stuck very close to the original game.
