A new Galaga!

Haven't had a chance to try it yet... my life is on hold until I get a decent coat of paint on my cab.   I am in painting hell right now.

Anyway, 8 out of 10 on Gamespot.

That's pretty much as high of a score as you can expect for an Xbox Live game.  By comparison, Pac-Man Championship Edition had an average of 83% on gamerankings.com.  However, they mention in the review that there are better shooters out there on XLA right now, including Ikaruga (which, if you're a fan of classic games, you need to check this one out) and Geometry Wars 2. 


--- Quote ---Galaga Legions stays true to that gameplay premise and assaults you with five areas divided into four to five levels. Each level must be played sequentially within an area. Each area is populated by continuous waves of enemies. Lines trace the paths the enemies will take. It is up to you and your two satellites to destroy the enemies as they follow that scripted entrance.

I've played it and I think it's great little game.

Plenty of nods to the original, new levels of strategy and a real old school play feel. Not often you see games that are also all about the scores too!

I can understand people love the original and some don't understand the need for a new revised version, but to me, it doesn't detract from the original and is something new - yet with a classic feel. If you don't want it, no-one is forcing you to play it :P

It's certainly not a cynical cash in by any means, it's clearly had some love put into it :)

 There are plenty of reason for an Upgrade to Galaga... and if done right, people
would LOVE it.   However, this is Not an upgrade.  Its a Downgrade.

 
patrickl:
True, they should make Galaga 3D  :P

Actually there is a 3D Galaga available for the Wii already (Namco Museum)
Xiaou2:

 3D Does not make everything better.   It usually makes them worse.

 Unless you are talking Stereoscopic 3D  (floats in and out of the
screen via 3d glasses)  ..  then I would agree.
