  • Summary: [Xbox Live Arcade] Atari's Centipede is easy to learn, but the tension builds relentlessly as the game progresses. Destroy the Centipede as it moves faster and faster through a colorful mushroom field, as well as protect yourself from a deadly Flea and a ferocious Spider.

  1. Even without the perfect controls, Centipede and Millipede are as much fun today as they were back in the golden age of arcades. Shooting the multi-segmented, multi-legged creepy-crawlies trying to invade your space never seems to get old, and you never die in a way that feels cheap. It's always your fault, so you keep trying one more time.
  2. With a solid list of hard-earned Achievement Points you might just forget that Atari failed to deliver any online modes for the game. Well, almost.
  3. Centipede and Millipede were arcade classics, but bad control and lame "evolved" modes make this package a stinker.
