Paddle's here, but no game yet. Looking forward to this a lot. The paddle seems like a well-constructed accessory, here's hoping it works just as well.

Paddles are now in, for those who care-

And so far I can't believe how much fun this is. I'm having a great time working through the levels and enemy patterns so far, learning which weapons work best in what situation, and when to just stick with the level 1 pea shooter for precise shooting.

So how's the difficulty? Any reason to play for score? I want to pick this up today (won't have a paddle yet, but that's OK)

There are lots of chaining and combo opportunities requiring precision shooting, and as nice as the powerups are it might be better to stick with the pea-shooter to pick off specific aliens of either the right type or color. You should love the scoring system.

This game is the bee's knees. Perhaps even the ant's pants.
The online vs. mode is even pretty cool! It works sort of like some puzzle games, doing certain things will send more rows of invaders over to your opponent.
Time to ride the crazy chair!
Yeah, the versus mode reminds me of Twinkle Star Sprites than anything. It isn't quite as refined, but it's still excellent.

It's the closest thing you'll get to legit online TSS. Everytime I connect, there's always someone playing too. Unlike Arkanoid, where they might as well have animations of tumbleweeds rolling when looking for a match.
You don't have to be smart; you don't have to know the facts, you just have to be confident.

Fuck everything, really? I love TSS.
I bought the DS version and played the PSP version. So, pre-paddle, I like certain things better on each but give the nod to the PSP so far because o the two screen stuff. Note that I didn't try multiplayer.

I could sorta overlook the lack of online multiplayer on PSP, but no leaderboards is a total dealbreaker imo. Ranking mode is the only way to play.
237 on the DS leaderboard so far, with about 4.5 mil.
I'll probably end up getting the PSP version anyway. This game deserves to be bought twice.
Portable game of the gen so far, easily.
