What a way to celebrate an anniversary. Taito's Space Invaders turns 30 this year, a very big milestone for such a young market. Clearly the company really wanted to give his property a huge send-off for his thirtieth birthday, please enter Space Invaders Extreme: The 17 bazillionth remake of the classic shooter. It may seem like "another remake" but honestly, it is undoubtedly the biggest update to the franchise ever created.It's energetic and addictive, and do a fantastic job to preserve the old school charm of the original 1978 classic.
Those pixilated aliens from space have found, in a second invasion, but this time they brought the fight into an oversaturated world of sight and sound. The core mechanic remains the same: slide left and right along the bottom of the screen and blast the aliens in seemingly endless wave after wave of formation marching. But Space Invaders Extreme takes it all to the next level by injecting a certain energy to it all: a steady rhythm pulses a background beat while trippy motion backgrounds set a dynamic stage.

Space Invaders Extreme adds a great strategic element to the mix: destroying like-colored enemies in a four hit combo will drop a weapon power-up based on the specific color. Green aliens drop a spread gun, red aliens release a cluster bomb. And blue aliens offer a satisfactory expanded to four laser that can kill foreigners in a long side to side swoop motion. This power-up idea is something inspired by the cool Activision remake produced on the PlayStation, N64, and original Game Boy, and it has been implemented extremely well in Space Invaders Extreme. Taito's designers take the element one step further: players now control when the UFO wanders across the top of the screen by shooting a combo of combos: score four red and four blue aliens without breaking the chain and a bonus point UFO will zoom above the field of foreigners. Shoot it and you will jump to challenging bonus rounds that, if successful, send you into a "Frenzy Mode" that can really bump up your score.
Both Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable have the same core game design and play almost identically. PSP version gets the edge in visuals as the designers throw a bit more panache in Space Invader Extreme's special effects: aliens swoop in smoothly and gameplay jumps from level to level with cool transitional effects. But surprisingly, the Nintendo DS version kicks the pants out of the PSP version in almost every other department: not only the heavy beat soundtrack pop a bit better on the DS, the multiplayer options are much more fleshed out. PSP edition has two player competitive modes, but you'll have to find a friend with another copy of the game. DS version supports game sharing via the system's Download Play, and it also goes far beyond that with support for Internet games: go online and you can upload your best scores to the Worldwide Rankings board as well as play random strangers and friends. PSP wireless connection kept to local play.
And we can not ignore one of the coolest features of the Nintendo DS game: Paddle support. In Japan, Taito produced a weighted button peripheral for the handheld that plugs into the bottom of the system. Use it in Space Invaders Extreme, and you can play the game with slow or quick twisting flicks, adds another level of intensity to the already intense gameplay. Granted players who have seized the upper hand against those who do not, so designers are clever little support for the normal single player progression, and you will not be able to use it to the Worldwide Rankings Mode or in multiplayer competition, and any high score you earn will be notated with a "P" next to it. Paddle controller is not currently available in the states but the North American version retains Paddle support. Certainly import one if you have the means.
If there is a downside to Space Invaders Extreme, it will be in the basic game mechanic: Space Invaders Extreme is just a bunch of left, right and shoot. But we are reluctant to say that there is something wrong with this great classic remake: it's amazing to see how much power it has to suck you in. It's as strong a contemporary remake as Namco's awesome Pac-Man: Championship Edition is on thePSP.
