Galaga Legions answers the call with some of the most frenetic and psychedelic visuals this side of Geometry Wars.

For hardcore shooter fans, Galaga Legions is an essential purchase, and can rightly be considered the definitive Galaga game. For everyone else, we can't recommend it over Retro Evolved 2, which remains the Xbox 360's best shooter by a country mile.
