This game is wonderfully remastered with 3d rocks and sound effects that will have you mind spinning. A nice improvement with 2000 technology. You get plenty of different rockets to blast at the rocks, ships etc. The graphics are excellent.

I was a master of the original Asteroids. And I found this Playstation version very challenging. I've finally mastered the Expert level, and I'm intimidated about trying the Hardcore level. Excellent graphics, sound, and options. If you were a fellow-addict, you will LOVE this game. If you never played Asteroids--this game is for those people who love to shoot-em-up and rack up the points. Best played with Dual shock controllers. ENJOY!

I REALLY ENJOYED ONCE AGAIN BEING BROUGHT TO MY TEEN YEARS AND ONCE AGAIN PLAYING THE UPDATED ASTEROIDS I THINK YOU WILL ENJOY THIS UPDATE PLUS IT ALSO HAS THE ORIGINAL VERSION I GREW UP ON IT MOVE ALONG VERY WELL AND DELIVERS HOURS OF FUN GET THE CHEAT CODE FROM THE WEB AND HAVE A BLAST IF I CAN SAY SO MYSELF THE GAME IS SIMPLE BUT A BUNCH OF FUN CHIPPIE

Good graphics and all, and I really was a fan of the original back in high school, but honestly ...it kind of gets old after a while. You can play the original, but I soon wondered why I like it (because it was something new in the 80's). If you're a fan of asteroids, you'll like it, if not, save your money.

Asteroids has great graffics and 3 ships to choose from. Now there is many new kinds of asteroids. ( Like crystal asteroids, alien astoriods, or ancient energy asteroids. There is also other cool stuff like space debris and comets. ) You can also get power-ups that recharge your shields, power-up your laser, let you set mines, and 13 other things. You can play with 2 people. The only thing a hate is that when you save your game it saves the zone not the level. ( There are 5 zones with at least 10 levels each. ) If you are wanting to play the classic asteriods all you have to do is find an object from that game and fire at it. This will unlock it.

This game's memory is set up so that you can remove other games on your memory card,while most games will not allow you to remove other games on the memory card while playing them.I never got to level 4 on this game because it is so challenging.My fingers would start to hurt is part of the reason:)Just pretend you are a fly and have 100 eyes,that way you can shoot all the obstacles coming at you

I cannot rate this game as to how much fun it is, or as to my overall opinion of it as it was a gift for my boyfriend. Its been his favorite game since he was a kid, and he's not complained about it so I will say that satisfaction is spot on. Delivery times were perfect!

DEAR SIRS,
THE GAME IS REALLY GREAT, JUST LIKE IT USE TO BE YEARS AGO BUT EVEN BETTER ON PS2.

Right here goes... The graphics, although jazzed up a little, are still hardly pushing the PS to it's limits. Even a Megadrive could (and did - Star Control) do a much better effort. Secondly, there are 60 levels in the game, most of which can be cleared of asteroids in seconds, and the background changes after each 15 levels. Again, hardly pushing the machine there really considering that the 4 background images are very uninspired. I cleared the game on my first play! At least the origional game went on into infinity (I presume.) Lastly, although the new weopans are pretty cool, they don't appear randomly - ie: on the first ten levels you get mines, next ten levels you get homing missiles, next ten you get smart bombs etc. This aspect takes a lot of the fun out of happening upon something interesting early on.

Oh, and the two player mode is as fun as a bout of ... in a space suit. Co-operative play only!! There isn't even a mode where you can fight your mates...

I know it's cheap, but it's a 'three-games-and-it's-gathering-dust' title I'm afraid. Why doesn't someone release Star Control for the PS?? Now that was great fun.
