__________________________________________________________________________Forgotten Worlds falls into place far from the level of excellence seen in the Wii Shop's best shooter options, as it's mostly forgettable and its compromised control in this remapped Genesis edition (then remapped again for the Virtual Console) isn't as fluid and inviting as the coin-op cabinet's original rendition. But its two-player co-op mode, its likably goofy flying shirtless heroes and the fact that you can attack in any direction might just add up to a justified purchase for some shooter fans looking for something a little different on the VC. If it sounds like something you'd be at all interesting in, don't feel bad putting down eight bucks to give it a shot. If you want to play things safer with your digital cash, look to some of the more memorable series in the Wii Shop, like Gradius or R-Type.

__________________________________________________________________________It's a shame that the nagging slowdown in the game basically drags down what would otherwise be a near-perfect run-n-gun title. It's really the only negative aspect to be found throughout the game, but sadly it's a pretty significant problem when it's all said and done. The game is still a very enjoyable action title, but it won't take you long to realize why SNK would basically create an updated version of this very same game with the release of Metal Slug X. Metal Slug X basically takes this amazing game and fixes many of the slowdown issues that plagued it. If you really want to enjoy this game to the fullest, you might want to wait for SNK to release Metal Slug X on the Virtual Console.

So what you get in this package is by no means bad -- a solid conversion of single-player Space Invaders, multiple graphical options and an interesting added multiplayer mode. It's just that, even with the added bells and whistles, it's still too hard to justify spending a full eight dollars for Space Invaders. You might have happily dropped 32 quarters into one of the original coin-op cabinets if you were around and gaming three decades ago, but today that same amount of cash should buy a much larger amount of content in a Wii download.
If you're a diehard Invaders addict and the prospect of having a version of the game selectable from your Wii's channel array seems terribly exciting to you, then by all means invest the Points. But everyone else, save them. Spend them on a more fully-featured 800 Point download from the SNES or Genesis libraries, or else just keep them in reserve for Taito's own Space Invaders Get Even when it finally arrives in the hopefully not-too-distant future.
