    Legions is one of the most fiercely competitive multiplayer games on XBLA.

    A brilliant reimagination of a classic that's up there with Championship Edition. [Dec 2008, p.84]

    It’s another one of those high-score hypodermic needles – you get addicted on getting a higher score so you keep repeating it over and over, working out new ideas for drone placement each time. It’s like a chess game at 100 mph, challenging and twitchy, all at the same time. On that point, Galaga Legions ranks up there with the best of them.

    Legions is incredibly fun, but the serious lack of modes will end your experience far too early.

    The learning curve is steeper than something like Geometry Wars, but once you start to master Galaga Legions, it transforms from a merely good game into something truly fantastic. Gorgeous, thrilling, and filled with depth, Galaga Legions comes highly recommended and is one of the best games of the year.… Expand

    An excellent game that lives up to the Pacman CE team. Lots of strategy that remains true to the original, but the game play feels ominously similar to Geometry Wars 2.… Expand

    Superb game in its own right - but its immediate predecessor, Galaga 90 was far better.

    Awful. has ripped the guts out of the original and replaced them with a Geo Wars wannabe but nowhere near as good. The firing is just too boring. I'll be sticking to the original thanks.… Expand
