As a fan of the original Galaga for the arcade, I was skeptical about this remade version. This is obviously a shoot em up. The game is actually pretty decent. You switch between 3 modes, vertical, side scrolling, and 3D. The game play is pretty smooth and the graphics are really good for a PS1 game. The music is awesome. The switching between the modes keeps the game fresh and not boring. OK, there are a few negative things about the game. In 3D mode it is hard to see where your shots are going even though you have a square target thing to use. The control is a little weird also. The ship doesn't seem very responsive in any mode. It seems sluggish and lethargic. I am sure this was on purpose to make the ship move like the original arcade version. Since this is a totally remade game and not a port, I feel the ship should have been faster and more responsive. Another negative thing is that sometimes there is so much going on in the background that I found my eyes wandering on the background objects instead of the game. Overall I give the game a 7 out of 10. Certainly a very playable game that is fun and cool to pop in from time to time.
