Weird game review? I'm in...Subbed.

NOTE:
In the UK, Space Raiders was renamed to Space Invaders: Invasion Day, to avoid being confused with the Space Raiders brand of crisps (which are called potato chips in the US). -
I saw this game on Rock30games.com for 5$ it looks really good but i barely ever have anyone play co-op or multiplayer games on my gamecube with me as a matter of fact since i bought SUPER SMASH BROS:MELEE last month my fiance has only played it with me once but yet she was all about soul calibur2 but to me SUPER SMASH BROS:MELEE is better than Soul Calibur2 what peeked my interest in this video is that Space Invaders pac-man and galaga were my early favorite arcade classics so much so that i bought Space Invaders Extreme:2 earlier this month i like it more than Exreme1 but it has a advanced weapon system and an additional frenzy mode called Frenzy Bingo which you have to match up enough double colored squares on a bingo board when killing colored enemies its very addicting but the bosses are smarter and harder difficulty than Extreme1.

Anyone else here from the UK think of crisps when they hear 'Space Raiders'?

It's nice to see someone else recommending this underrated game.

Good review! My interest in "Space Raiders" just increased now!
-
Aya Brea shower scene? WHAT!?
-
I remember seeing this in the Nintendo Magazine at the time. It looked pretty good, but this looks like it aged horribly!
-
Pretty neat game. Thanks for sharing it.
-
Seeing Rad Gravity in the intro always makes me chuckle. Might have to go watch that episode...
-
what video system do you use to film the game footage.. actually i wouldnt mind an episode that describes the things you do to film an episode
-
A game with "Space" in the title should by default hearken back to the Atari days when it was about high scores instead of plots. Good review, Joe!

Great video man! I might actually pick this game up sealed, it's cheap as hell. No surprise there though :P
