Space Invaders Extreme has the best artwork on the case i have ever laid eyes on. And the game is just flawless.

Did you mean to say "less predictable" in that Space Invaders Extreme review?

There is another version of Dodge ball. It is Super Dodge Ball Advance for the GBA.

Alienblue won't stop bothering me about buying SI Extreme. He might as well keep bothering me to buy a Bon Jovi album...........

Just a quick comment about Space Invaders Extreme; I agree with your review and score, but I was surprised you didn't mention (and maybe it just didn't bother you like it did me) the constant moving, swirling animations in the background that are going on the entire time you're playing. I found it incredibly irritating and distracting, and it added absolutely nothing to the game for me. That was about the only sore point for this game though, I otherwise thought it was great!

I thought you could turn those animations off. I had a lot of fun with the game, especially with the paddle controller. What eventually made me give up was the branching pathways and the extra bits added to bosses on harder paths. For a game like this i'd just like a few short levels to go score attack on. Not a huge variety of levels. I didn't even try the Extra mode!

Does Civilisation lose amy features of the xbox version or just graphics?

I've only ever played Cyber Dodge on the PC engine and the main downside to that game was you only moved one guy about and even though you could switch, it mostly meant you moved one guy out of the way but another still got hit which i found immensely frustrating.
