Space Invaders Extreme 2

Space Invaders Extreme 2 is the follow-up/remix of the gameplay formula created in the original Space Invaders Extreme, but adding a few new features, some of which make specific use of the dual-screen qualities of the Nintendo DS as this title, unlike the first game, appears only on this system.

Like the first game, Space Invaders Extreme 2 is a hectic modern revision of the classic Space Invaders formula. A single cannon on the bottom of the screen moving left and right fires up against the flying alien invaders filling all areas of the screen. Invaders appear in four colors and a neutral (white) color, with each color dropping a special weapon when four are destroyed in a row. The weapons are identical to the previous game--the blue laser, the green spread shot, the red bomb, and the black shield. The Roulette feature returns, and is now activated by destroying four black enemies and then four green ones. A Roulette UFO will fly by and must be destroyed to activate the Roulette mini-game, which operates the same as the previous title. The signature wild colors, electronic-style music, and energetic animated backgrounds return with new styles and animations. Branching levels of varying difficulty also remain, but not on the Beginner difficulty.
