    It feels more like a next-generation "Colony Wars" than Defender. This, of course, is the highest of compliments. [Feb 2003, p.105]

    After spending a lot of time with Defender I have decided that I would have more fun playing the 1980’s original than spend 50 bucks on this.

    Those who've played the original Defender are those that will appreciate this game the most, though it's a decent game on its own merit.

    It’s very strong on concept and not so strong on the actual gameplay.
