WHAT

they're hyping up the game... I think it's great. the first one was good, enjoyed it and this one sounds better.

[Nohbdy]

Very much so, yes. I also noticed two new invaders where one was transparent but had glowing eyes (seems to be different from the invader that shoots in three ways when destroyed) and another with a spiky shield that gets launched at you after a few shots.

Also, the cannon is at Level 12 (over the cap of Level 10) and it still levels up.

The first thing I did in Extreme 1 was turn off the extra effects. That'll at least stop the video playback in the background.

How does SI Extreme manage to not give seizures/nausea?

it's only on a dual 3 inch screen?

I didn't think it was that bad, though this might be getting even more extreme.

Can't wait for this new installment. I love how the shots from the ship syncs up with the music.

The main (huge) difference in SIE2 is that there are enemies on the top screen at all times now. In the first one, the top screen was just for bonus information and that type of stuff (apart from Boss battles).

The psychedelic effects weren't a problem for me in SIE, my problem was that my thumb would get sore as hell playing it.

Watch how you phrase yourself. The top screen is where all Rounds and Fevers/Bingo Fevers take place, aside from boss fights. It's still reserved for information when just fighting against normal formations.

Also, HI PSP OWNERS. :3

Yeah, you're right. When I watched that vid the first time, it looked like the UFOs and other ships that were flying around on the top screen were there during normal formation fighting. That clearly isn't the case.

Wow that's pretty wild, especially since the last version of Space Invaders I played was on the Atari 2600. Gotta try out it sometime.

I have the first Space Invaders Extreme - This new one might be a little too much to handle...

[Nohbdy]

So, there's some small major details about SIE2:

-It's possible to fill up the entire Bingo Card. It results in a Full House Fever. Two Lines Fever seems more points-worthy however.
-There's a Fever Time to earn extra stock. Either get Green-Black or vice versa. I forgot.
-You no longer go through "normal" formations for Fever Times. What happens in any Fever Time is "filler" formations swoop in place of actual formations that are supposed to show up for that stage. In essence, you are actually putting off getting to the end. This is bad for Time Attack Mode when you're supposed to be blazing through to the end. Incidentally, I think the upside to this is to level up your main cannon, which can already be a monster of a weapon at Level 8 and up.

As long as I can kill invaders I don't care what is going on. The first game was amazing, looking forward to this one.
