Of all the old-school to 3D remakes, Galaga: Destination Earth may be the most uninspired. It fails to build upon an already simplistic premise and opts instead to stick with a formula that made it popular almost 20 years ago. While it can be fun at times, there are so many annoying gameplay issues that the overlying feeling of hindrance is difficult to shirk. While old Galaga fans will appreciate the 3D upgrade, even they will grow tired of Destination Earth after a few hours. If you're looking for a great PlayStation shooter in this style, pick up Einhander and forget about this one.

After that, you're off to a series of horrendous first-person stages with graphics so cluttered that you can't even tell what's going on. Other elements of the original Galaga, like the double-shot and challenge stages are included, but these are so poorly executed you'll wonder why they even bothered. With Galaga Destination Earth, Hasbro has taken a classic and watered it down with every boring modern game cliche known to mankind.
