Review:

The large and colourful display allows the actual game graphics to move quickly in the smaller play area. It also has a tunnel effect that increases the sense of 3D and the enemy ships have decent animation to depict their approach.

Underneath it all is a very simple shooter with repetitive action and uninspiring sound effects.
