Galaga Destination Earth Review

1.9
Format PC
Developer King Of The Jungle
Publisher Hasbro Interactive
Genre Unknown
PC Zone Magazine
13-Aug-2001
Dave Woods

Galaga isn't exactly the most famous classic that Hasbro has chosen to update, but it has got a very hardcore following that probably aren't going to be best pleased by what they find here. It all starts off innocently enough, with an old-school smattering of Galaga, but this is swiftly ruined by an excursion into the worst type of 3D space combat.

Think Space Harrier but worse and you're not going to be far off. As we've said before, sometimes Hasbro gets these updates right. Often they get them so badly wrong, you wonder if the developers have got any sort of passion for the game they're converting. On this sort of evidence you'd be well advised to dust down your old BBC and play that version instead. At £5 a shot, we'd be more charitable, but this is strictly play-once, throw-away fodder.
