Galaga

If you liked the classic, then you'll love this. But if you're looking for a great shooter, look elsewhere.

This game isn't really that bad. Really. It is a true classic that deserves better and more credit as to how it started space shooters by starting out as a classic arcade game. It's just that it can't stand up to today's space shooters.

Galaga has sub-par graphics. They get the job done so I guess they aren't too bad. The sound isn't that great either. There isn't any music in the game, just sounds of you shooting and exploding enemies. The gameplay is pretty great though. Too bad whenever you replay this game, you always start out doing the exact same thing so it's really predictable as to when you will be attacked.

If you're a fan of the classic arcade shooter, then get this game because it is exactly the same as it is now than as it was back then. But if you're looking for a shooter with a little more to it, then look somewhere else. Happy Gaming.
