Space Invaders Extreme 2 hasn't managed to build up much hype; an unfortunate circumstance that can be attributed to Square Enix mentioning the North American release of the game once, in May, and then not again until just now. In fact, had it not been for Nintendo's release calendar, we wouldn't have been certain of the release date (October 20 -- a.k.a. next Tuesday) until today, when Taito's parent company, Square Enix, confirmed it. Is it too late to pre-order?
And so, we're only too happy to use this occasion to refresh your memory: Space Invaders Extreme 2 is out very soon! In fact, it's been out all month in Europe and has garnered positive reviews. Turn on a strobe light and have a look at the new screens to prepare yourself for the sequel to one of the best games of 2008.

I'm honestly just terrible at SIE1, but that's fine. SIE2 is an instant purchase.

Lo and behold, denizens of Stiqtokia, your game of the year for 2009.
Praise be.

I bought the game, it's awesome. The screens are very 'busy,' but awesome all the same.
But I'm still terrible at multiplayer mode; there doesn't seem to be any method to my winning or losing, just shoot.

You'd expect Squaresoft to push this title hard, especially when you consider how insipid the rest of their lineup is. But, as with all games that don't have 'Dragon' or 'Fantasy' in their titles, the backwards company are sending out another game to die. A GOTY contender, of all things. A tragedy.

I enjoy the 1st game much more. Virtually the same game, except the this newer one has stuff constantly going on in the background, and there are lights flashing, and all this crap to distract you.
Its definately not a bad game at all, and it is still fun. But personally I would much rather play the original
