Invasion From Beyond falls into the category of I saw a game with a cheap price and the description on the back enticed me enough to separate myself from my hard-earned $15. I wasn’t really expecting much from a bargain game and my first impression was, “I can see why it was only $15”, but then something strange and rare happened. I kept playing and gradually started to enjoy the game. I know, surprised the heck out of me too. On the surface, Invasion doesn’t present much. The graphics are kind of subpar for a PSOne game and music has that retro sci-fi vibe, but nothing memorable. Even the game play comes off a repetitive and frustrating at times. Usually this is enough for me to declare the game crap and banish it to the under reaches of my game collection (I keep 99% of the games I buy even if they do suck. What can I say, I am a collector of the gems as well as the junk), but for some reason, something kept me wanting to play. In rare instances a game will start to shine after you drudge through a certain length. With Invasion, it was the depth of the gameplay in the form of upgrading your ships based on how many scientists and alien parts you collect. I don’t know the exact number, but there are quite a few ships to be had and they all have their strengths and weakness which adds to the variety. Most missions you either have to destroy everything or save something and destroy everything. Maybe I am just simplistic, but that didn’t bother me. I wasn’t looking for a simulator when I shelled out my 15 bucks. The controls are simple and easy to grasp. Don’t expect much from Invasion, I mean I bought it for 15 bucks brand new when it came out. Take it for what it is and judge for yourself. If you still play PSOne games, Invasion is a good time killer. One word of warning. If the controls start acting weird, make sure you are using an official Playstation Memory card. This was one of the few games that acted weird when using a third party card.Read full review
Let's start by saying that I enjoyed the 50's retro cover art. After that things went downhill. The game play was sketchy and hard to follow. It seemed like they had the right idea behind it but didn't execute it very well. It was taken into account that the PS1 seems so outdated these days but there are many quality games on the system. This, for one, is not. 3 out of 10
Awful game! The cover art is why I purchased this, but the game itself didn't have graphics like this. It literally went into the trash.
They loved it. They really dont have much in Cuba so this was a very good gift for me to bring. Thank You
very good game
