Bug Invaders Review
By thinvader747 on 20 March 2008


Pros: Just like the original, which i don't think anyone hated. Retro style gameplay makes for fluent gameplay, and very satisfying for old school gamers.

Cons: Could do with some way of healing. Also, you tend to get hit while trying to move the mouse out of the way of the screen, as the game freezes a little, making health packs more essential.

Pleasing twist on an old classic

Some might say I was generous with this review, until you play the game. If you like space invaders, then you'll like this version.

Let's check my scoring:

Graphics: 3 stars is a fair score, as they are a bit clunkier than the original version, but then again, it's not supposed to be an accurate replica, is it? 3 stars is still about right, however.

Sound: This score is solely a matter of opinion. I don't really like that kind of music, though there are a lot of people who would, and might rate it something a bit more radical, like a 5 or something.

Gameplay: As stated in the pros section, it's retro, as it should be. 5 stars is a worthy score, although that elusive 6th star is quite a distance away. some extra features would help, just to make it more modern.

Story: Well, there is no story. So that does'nt affect the final score, as far as im concerned. Just as a question, how could you actually add a story to this style of game?

Interface: The menu is fine, just a bit dodgy at times. What stops it from getting a better score is that on the info section, the text is too hard to see.

Overall: 4 stars is the right score for this game, as it just fits in neatly with the rest of the scores. Like I say, extr features like health packs would do the game much justice.

I know it's weird music but I like it. I like lots of different kinds of music (rock, classical, techno, jazz) besides my brother made it. And it fits well in my opinion. Anyways I was thinking of later giving an option of multiple songs to listen to. And yes some health packs would be a good ideal be assured they will be in the next edition. Thank you so much for the review I shall have to do some of your games sometime.
