Review Summary: 22 years on, the coin-op classic returns with a 3D makeover.

Overall Score: 3/5

Review: Quick and easy to read low-down on Defender!

Why I'd buy it:
-A lavish 3D version of a classic.
-Fast-paced, shoot 'em up action.
-purely for nostalgia

Why I'd leave it to rot:
-Lacks the original's pure speed and mayhem.
-Episodic, mission-based play disrupts the action, when you start getting into it.

Graphics/Visuals: Impressice 3D and cool spaceships.
7.6/10

Sound: Some of the original Defender sound effects, nothing special at all.
5.8/10

Gameplay: Episodic shoot 'em up action tied to a story line.
6.2/10

Life span: Fight from Mars to Earth (via Jupiter)
5.9/10

OVERALL SCORE AND THOUGHTS:
6.4/10 (64%)
-Classic gameplay revamped and 3D-ified. Different, but not better.
