    Two bucks. That's all you'll need to grab this PSP Mini, and it is worth every cent.

    A Space Shooter For 2 Bucks! really is the complete package. For a two dollar PlayStation Mini, A Space Shooter For 2 Bucks! offers an experience as fun, lengthy, difficult and worthwhile as some of the premiere standard games on the PlayStation Network.

    This is a bargain if you look at what you get. This shooter is long, challenging and has a great sense of humor thanks to cutscenes that remind us of Ratchet & Clank. Mega Man was also an inspiration: you get to use the weapons of every end boss you defeat. [January 2012, p.85]

    Whether you're on the go with your PSP or if you need something to greatly occupy yourself between paychecks, we can be thankful for the fact that the option of killing space cretins is available as an alternative to spending the evening hitting up the drive-thru window.

    If A Space Shooter for 2 Bucks is any indication of what other games are in the PSP Mini collection, then gamers are in for a treat. It doesn't try to do too much, it's a lot of fun, and it's cheap.

    The attractive price is not the only thing that makes this frantic space shooter worth trying out. Looking past the hit or miss humor in the dialogue, the action is absolutely addicting and you will be replaying levels incessantly to build up some space cash to purchase your next upgrade.

    A fairly conventional shooter. [Issue#202, p.96]

    Amazing and fun shooter! Period. I've played it since 2011, and everytime I go back to it, it feels fresh, fun and awesome. CDR. P. JeffersonAmazing and fun shooter! Period. I've played it since 2011, and everytime I go back to it, it feels fresh, fun and awesome. CDR. P. Jefferson is a pretty violent and funny character, and his sidekick, Alfred, give the extra comments to make this game perfect. Buy it NOW! or the ALIENS GONNA WIN!… Expand
