Eschewing previous efforts to drag Space Invaders into the realms of hideous pseudo-3D monstrosity, Taito have instead opted to build on its compelling, hypnotic qualities, keeping the visuals oldskool. J C Fletcher reports that:
"Space Invaders Extreme looks a lot like Rez. And you will never hear us say that's a bad thing.
In fact, Extreme looks pretty cool, and not just in its presentation. The movement of the Invaders is now tied into the game soundtrack (another nod to Rez), adding a new element to the already-hypnotic Invaders experience."
