Space Invaders Get Even is a good game ruined by a horrible pricing scheme. Be careful because this is how they get you: 500 points makes it seem really appealing, after all its space invaders, its flashy, and its only (theoretically) 5 dollars. Then you play it and you're like Hey this game is pretty cool. Then after the 3rd level, the credits roll... The base game is 3 levels and an astounding 314 blocks. You can download additional map packs, with 4 levels for 500 points each (and they take up over 100 blocks). Its like paying 5 dollars for an XBL demo, and then having to buy the game in pieces. Its ridiculous. I would have minded much less if the map packs were maybe 200 to 300 points. As it stands, unless the additional maps are pretty phenomenal, this game seems like a rip off

Ha! Wotsits! I haven't heard that word since a friend of mine from England came to visit back in 2001 and raided the local Spencers, loading up on 'wotsits'. LOL!

Metal Slug 2 seems like a bit of a ripoff in comparison to Metal Slug Anthology. Then again, Sonic the Hedgehog also seems like a ripoff compared to Sonic Mega Collection. I guess most companies weren't expecting to be able to market their old games individually anymore...

I didn't know that Space Invaders was 500 points only! Getting it as soon as I get home :)

@CockroachMan: Well you only get one stage with three different objectives. It might not last long. Though if you are willing to spend 500 more points on one of three packs (which contains 2 levels each including a different ship) then it'll be worth it.

Ahhhh, so there's the catch! Still, I will be buying it. I loved the new Space Invaders for the DS.

@CockroachMan: Bit of a trick really. The real game is actualy 2000 Nintendo points, and would have been sold as such in stores (just like Katamari was $20).

That said, it's worth buying it all. Destroy All Humans!... no wait that's something else. Still fun.
