The dreaded bottom line is that we've seen it all before, and much, much better.

Space Invaders Revolution is never going to be the title to grab the attention of the masses, but for those that have fond memories or wish for something highly addictive to fill 15 minute slots you’ll not find anything quite so fitting as this.

The game comes with a new and slightly speedier version (and when I say slightly I really mean SLIGHTLY) that has some snazzy special effects (and by snazzy I mean not really snazzy at all).

Space Invaders Revolution includes a port of the 1978 classic and a modern mode with 20 stages. The latter is polished and each stage stresses a particular aspect of Space Invaders gameplay. Unfortunately this mode has no scoring or other replay incentives. Also the powerups add nothing to the core gameplay and may as well not be there. It's not as great as it could've been, but it's well worth playing for anyone who enjoys classic Space Invaders.

For me, I think the new age mode brings some nice things to the table, but might not be enough to warrant a purchase.

It's not very creative. And past Space Invaders games on current consoles and handhelds have done a much better job with contemporizing a true arcade classic.

If you're looking for a revolution, you've come to the wrong place - unless you just want to go around in circles.

Space Invaders Revolution should serve as an industry standard, an shining example of how to take a classic game and squeeze the last few bucks out of it without doing much to differentiate it from the original game.
