Space Invaders HD – iPad review

Space Invaders HD

Today Taito launched a HD version of their famous Space Invaders for the iPad. The original game was designed by Tomohiro Nishikado and was a huge hit in the arcades back in the 80s. The app is $4.99 and here’s our verdict.

Even though the intro screen looks very promising it’s a very poor game experience overall. The menus are ugly and the whole feel of the app is very far from what you should expect from a professional gaming company like Taito. The controls are awkward and even though you can change between clicking the on-screen joystick, touch & drag or tilt controls it’s not very fun to play. There’s a 2 player version available as well, but that one isn’t very fun either. One of the worst games for ipad so far, and definitely not worth $4.99 – I’ve already uninstalled it = definitely not recommended. Crap.

Go get Osmos or Angry Birds instead. Or Tunnel Shoot if you desperately need a shoot’em up. Meteor Blitz HD is a good shooter as well.

    Folks who run in Nike Dunks, you feel faster/lighter. All of the sudden striking at your Nike Air Max  feels like a collection of bounds in contrast to a resistive locomotive work. The runners who put on Air Max Shoes sneakers stated ” In lieu of the drive remaining transmitted into the Cheap Nike Hyperdunk heel bone, from the forefoot, Air Jordan Shoes drive is becoming transmitted for the muscle tissues in the leg. Runners can turn into substantially far more fatigued Cheap Supras a lot previously in their Oakley Outlet distances for the reason that all those muscle mass are not Air Jordan 2010 designed up and sturdy enough.” Supras Shoes may possibly lower sensation of worn out and promoto full entire body.
