You pilot a ship in an effort to fight off an invading alien force. When you think about it, the concept is the same. Now, FOX Interactive is releasing Independence Day for the PlayStation, and in concept, it is almost an upgrade of sorts to Space Invaders. One of the most original and popular video games from the early days of the industry was Space Invaders. But mid-level jet jocks who give this game a chance could find that Independence is worth fighting for. You seem to slam into stuff everywhere.Īir Combat and Agile Warrior vets should obliterate these aliens in one sitting. That's because the gameplay area is boxed by the massive mothership overhead, the buildings below, and a surrounding alien force field. The controls are basic, but sometimes the jet-fighting seems like supersonic pinball. It's a gas, but unfortunately the stunts have little to do with mission objectives. You can actually pull stunts like flying underneath the Eiffel Tower. The graphics hold their own with cinemas lifted from the flick, sharp-looking jets, and fun ground-level views. elimination covers IB international locales, including major cities such as New York, Paris, and Tokyo.

For the grand finale, you pilot a captured saucer. Here you fly an international air force composed of 10 jets, including fighters like the F-15 Eagle, the A-10 Wart-hog, and the Russian Sukhoi Su-72. Independence Day does a nice job of transferring jets-versus-flying-saucers combat from the big screen to the PlayStation. Ask your dad if he'll let you borrow his PC for a while.
