Pros and cons of Galaga 30th Collection app for iPhone and iPad

Galaga 30th Collection app good for

ok, its not that cheap but its really impressive ! However there are bugs : in galaxians i have passed levels 20 & 24 (until 28 so far) and did not get corresponding succes ... Same with original galaga. In addition i cannot connect to the leaderboard even if my wifi is active. What i would appreciate is to have the very original gameplay in galaxians because fire frequency is too much high. despite or these issues i would highly recommend this re-engineered must have ! Thanks Namco, and by the way ... When is galaga legions dx coming live ?

Awesome oldschool Gamescollection! But please Namco, give us the ability to purchase the original Galaga Arcade version. With authentic sounds and graphics! And most of all: iCade Support!!! ICADE ROCKS! (^_^)

A very addicting game. As a fan of Galaga, I really enjoyed this game. I just downloaded and already its one of my most used apps! Although not too happy that we have to pay for the other editions... None the less if you enjoyed this game in the past chances are youl find it fun. P.s. Cool control scheme, simple too.

I just rediscovered this game from my childhood and I cant stop playing it!

If you can forgive Namco for having Galaga in the title but it will only load Galaxian unless you PAY for the actual Galaga title this app is named after, then youre in for a load of fun. This app plays really well, the graphics and sound have been nicely tweaked, the physics engine is beauty (they fly a little differently than the original). If youre a Galaga fan this app is AWESOME to play. Even old "Grandpa Galaxian" plays great! DO get this app if you want to play Galaga. DO NOT get Namcos other Galaga app, "Galaga Remix". It is a POS, thanks to its extremely laggy controls.

My oh my! What a beautifully done remake of the entire Galaga series. Sure is a good time to be alive these days. 30 years ago, I would never have imagined I would be walking around playing Galaga on something that fits in my pocket, with the same grin on my face :)

Some bad moments

There is no playable demo - there must be a reason for this. one star because zero stars are not possible.

I, among many others, really thought we were getting GALAGA. Not GALAXIAN. Even if it is a whole package deal, you get to play galaxian, and PUT IN MORE money to get 3 other games. I really would have liked it if it was galaga playable. Just for playing a baitnswitch tactic on me, I am very disappointed and I demand a price reduction of $0.99 each game!

Very misleading title dont even bother downloading. Cannot play or demo without paying.

I cant even figure out how to start the free version. Too many purchase links to navigate. Deleted.

HATE games that you download for "free", but then you have to pay. BULL-ISH!

This game is crap says its free go in the app and you have to buy it. :(
