I've had the original Namco Galaga/Galaxian Game Boy cartridge for quite a while, and it's one of my favorite games on this platform. I was curious about the new Galaga and picked it up... thankfully, I didn't spend *too* much money on it. The new Game Boy Galaga is a staggering disappointment. There is almost no challenge to it, with more time having been spent on the scrolling background graphics than on actual game play. The original Galaga cartridge demands a lot of the player. This new edition only demands that you stay awake (hey, sometimes it's hard!). The Playstation/PC version will certainly be much better than this, so save your money and wait for that one.

I am very disappointed in this game! I totally *love* Galaga, so when I saw this game in the stores, I immediately snatched it up. Big mistake! While the background graphics are kind of cool, they really are very distracting and make seeing the "aliens" difficult. Perhaps that was the idea...the game is sooooo easy that they had to make something in it difficult!

How easy is this game? I sat down for the first time with it yesterday, and made it to the second to the last screen of the game in my first play. Bummer. Seriously, save your money, don't get this game!!
