This is one of the greats from the original Xbox console, and common enough to still be easily found and enjoyed. It has a long campaign with variable difficulties and several different ships that you can customize in the fight against the alien horde. It had good graphics for the day, and is very pleasing to watch and play. The controls came a little bit before the modern flight standard was established, so might take a little getting used to, but you'll be blasting aliens in style in no time as they are smooth and intuitive. Gameplay is fun, and the objective system never leaves you guessing what you're supposed to be doing. In general though, you are trying to protect bases, rescue and deliver to safety colonists, and above all fight off the invading waves of aliens. You get credits for mission completion, kills, and colonists saved, which you can spend on outfitting your ships with new weapons and shields. Contrary to most popular games, the ships you unlock later in the game are not always better, but rather different. For instance, the first ship is a solid mix of every stat in the game in even proportions. Later ships may be fat and slow, but tough and capable of laying damage on thick. Others are weaker, but incredibly fast and agile. This caters to many play styles, from hit and run to sit and blow anything that comes near you up. Just be sure you're always capable of rescuing the colonists.Read full review
This is probably the worst game I have seen on any platform. The only resemblance to the classic arcade game is the sound of the guns on the defender ship. I was bored after 10 minutes of the erratic, confusing and pointless gameplay. The idea of picking up humans on the ground and flying them back clutching to the wings of my spacecraft rather than them being mauled during the hi-speed pickup had me laughing out loud. Don't bother.
for some stupid reason, i love this game, and along with crimson skies, hope that they update it for the 360 multiplayer mayhem and fun that i like so much now. i like the spaceships, the futuristic feel, i even have the playstation 2 version of it, but play the xbox one now on my sweet 360
THIS IS A GAME FOR MY HUSBAND'S X BOX. IT IS HARD TO FIND XBOX GAMES NOW, SINCE XBOX360. GOOD TO SEE THEM ON E-BAY
I bought the XBOX Defender three weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the Game.Get down and save the human race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
