Galaga

Classic game...could've been better

User Rating: 8 | Galaga X360

I used to love this game. It was one of the only good games at the arcade by my dad's house growing up, and I played it a lot. Although the game was and is a classic, and is faithfully created in this re-iteration of the arcade hit, it falls short in a couple of completely avoidable ways.

GOOD:
-Great game, retains the classic gameplay that made it a hit.
-Slick menus and nice border art from the original arcade machine makes for some of the best presentation on a 360 Arcade game so far.
-Separate leaderboard for the individual Xbox 360 you play it on, for your friends who still don't have a 360 yet.

BAD:
-No 2 player mode like in the original, this brings down the review score a lot.
-The achievements are way too easy, due to the addition of continues.
-No multiplayer mode over Xbox live.

  Even with its minor flaws Galaga makes for a charming, nostalgic, and cheap port of an arcade classic.
