Okay, if you are looking for a challenge, then this isn't the game for you. But, if you are looking to have some fun then this is a great game to own, especially for the price. The old arcade style action shooter brings back great gaming memories. The game is easy to beat, and the story is TOTALLY cheesy, but the graphics are nice and the gameplay is really fun. A downside to the game is that it doesn't have 2 player in story mode, which I thought was pretty lame. Overall, I am pleased with Space Raiders.

This game really doesn't deserve any time wasted talking about it, but so far nobody has given it the one star review it deserves so I guess it is up to me. It's supposed to be a tribute/modern update of the classic video game "Space Invaders". Instead, it insults the Atari gaming staple and it is both simpler and more boring than the game it is based on.

In the 21st century, we need video games with a bit more complexity than what we're offered here. You stand at the bottom of the screen and strafe back and forth while shooting at the alien hordes in front of you. Fascinating. Is the game easy? Yup, it only takes around two hours to beat! What is the point of the game? Well...to make money off of a clueless public hungry for a piece of their video gaming youth I suppose. Don't fall for it. This would be okay as a freebie on the Internet or maybe for a couple of bucks to play on your cell phone. Just don't spend any money purchasing it for your GameCube because you'll be regretting it the very next day.

Just today I recieved my Nintendo Power and it had a big article about this game. I never even heard of the game but since it's exclusive it has to be a must see. Next week I am going to be buying this game and I will write a review of it on here so everyone can know what it is like. It actually doesn't look half bad by the screens.
