DESCRIPTION

Developed by the same Namco Bandai team that infused Pac-Man: Championship Edition with bright neon lights and up-tempo electronic music, Galaga Legions offers gamers a revitalized and upgraded version of another arcade classic. Hordes of glowing enemies swoop and swarm in geometrical patterns, but players can fight them off thanks to the new Legions feature. Whereas the original Galaga let players capture another ship to increase firepower, Galaga Legions immediately gives players ally ships that can stationed and aimed at any point on the screen. The ally ships are capable of further augmentation thanks to Legions, which are entire fleets of tiny ships that are impervious to enemy fire. Galaga Legions is exclusive to Xbox Live, and it offers players a handful of new ways to earn achievements. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
