  1. If you are jaded by more exciting modern games, this will definitely bore you. Otherwise, it's a great makeover of one of the classically addictive games.
  2. 70
    A title that stands the test of time. Despite the game's eventual tedium, it will only set players back 400 Microsoft Points (US$5), and is still a memorable experience, one that both accomplished and new missile commanders will want to experience.
  3. Missile Command on Xbox Live Arcade only serves to illustrate that an analog stick can't replace a track ball.
