    A very good game, with great graphics and gameplay, but with lackluster sound. I really liked this game and that’s why I was quite disappointed with the length of it.

    Be warned - even on easy with max lives, this game is a challenge. [Dec 2001, p.118]

    Though not spectacular in any category Galaxies proves you can make a decent shooter on the GBA while retaining much of a games arcade roots. Once you finally finish this tough, deep, space-blaster, you'll probably not bother with it again.

    Great combination of past games combines to make the best portable shooter ever. Great voice overs, sound effects, music and lots of things exploding!! … Expand

    Nice gameplay and just what you'd expect from a side scrolling space shooter. It just keeps you playing.
