    This game does a good job of staying true to the original material while adding 3D an other features like co-op and new weapons to bring it up to date with the times.

    If you were a fan of the 80s original arcade game, you will love this new upgrade. It is super fun in short bursts trying to get new high scores. And for only $10 bucks you can't go wrong.

    Looks ok, plays ok but its too short for the price tag. Can't understand that for such a short game it does not loop back to the start but at a harder level. Basically the game ends when you get through the last level which only takes about 25-30 mins.

    This game is a must for all fans of classic top-down shooters, and fans of the series. If you like shooters, then you'd be a fool not to grab this one up at the $10 asking price.

    A game that's just as enjoyable as any other in the series but with a wow factor that far exceeds the vast majority of them. [July 2008, p.123]

    It's nothing you haven't seen before, though, and, placed next to the stylish brilliance of "Everyday Shooter," this ultimately lacks the character or variety to make its challenge worth enduring. [Aug 2008, p.81]

    Satisfying. [Aug 2008, p.104]
