Asteroids

PROS:
-Obviously, the graphics have been given a total makeover - and all for the better.
-Unlike the original arcade game, you have your choice of three different ships in this game! Each ship has different stats.
-There is a fourth, hidden ship.
-Hidden somewhere in the game is the original Asteroids arcade game!
-You can get power-ups for your craft. These serve a variety of different functions, making this game very entertaining.
-There are a variety of locales. You start out in deep space, but will find yourself in other interesting places, like at the entrance to a black hole, and on a huge asteroid!
-Asteroids aren't the only targets this time around. There are aliens, satellite pieces, and all kinds of new obstacles.
-The game, though it has several improvements, maintains the original's simplistic control scheme.

CONS:
-Even though this is a good makeover, this kind of game is severely dated.
-You won't like this game if you didn't like the original version.
-This game IS NOT for everybody. If the game gives you a bad first impression, you probably won't be willing to give it a chance.
-There is not enough variety. The game is basically the same turn, teleport, boost, and shoot formula the original used.

OVERALL:
If you liked the original version of Asteroids, there's a good chance you'll enjoy this update of the classic. If you didn't like the original, you're not going to like this. Ultimately we have a pretty good game here, but it's not for everyone.

Oh, and the two player mode is as fun as a bout of ... in a space suit. Co-operative play only!! There isn't even a mode where you can fight your mates...

I know it's cheap, but it's a 'three-games-and-it's-gathering-dust' title I'm afraid. Why doesn't someone release Star Control for the PS?? Now that was great fun.
