'SPACE INVADERS EXTREME 2'

"Extreme" transformed an arcade classic into a relevant new form while retaining the core of game play that made it popular in the first place. "Space Invaders Extreme 2" tweaks the formula with some new bells and whistles, and it's no less entertaining than the first.

Players move a cannon along the bottom of the screen, firing at waves of invading aliens above; the aliens drop weapons such as a laser and a bomb. There are more kinds of aliens this time, especially in later levels and harder difficulty settings, and there are new gigantic boss enemies to defeat.

The most obvious change is the new bingo grid, which covers the top screen when the player isn't in bonus scoring mode; filling out rows with the right colors by destroying enemies can grant a chance for tons of bonus points.
