Missile command 3d is a great updated remake of the classic arcade game. Great graphics, fun gameplay, and it's suitable for all ages.

Missile Commamd is a classics game for people that played it and remember playing it. Its just like it was. No new 3d graphices or has not been all redone up and just with the name on it. Its easy to play and fun to play. It has a built in challenge it start easy and get hard so if you like a game that starts out easy and get harder this is the game for you.

I spent way too much time at the local pub feeding quarters in to the arcade version of Missile Command. That was 20 years ago. All that's missing here is the need for a pocket ful of change and the dart players that would bump into me at some critical juncture of the game. I was never a master of the original. . . it had something to do with my main activities at the bar. . . but my friend was the best ever. We both played this new game. Good news? Plenty! Great graphics. Greatsound. Just as i hoped it would be. Bad news? You have to keep your kids away from it if you ever want to play!
just like the old game

I gave this as a gift, so the review is more from my friend than from me... she was a total Missle Command junkie. She was very happy to get this game and really likes it but wished they'd improved the graphics and improved the controls.
Classic or Ultimate?

In Missile Command you can play "Classic" mode; it has nice colors and graphics. The sound effects are pretty good and still provide the satisfying booms. The controls are good even with the analog controller; I don't know why other players complain. There is also "Ultimate" mode and looks even better with 3D graphics, but controlling the cross-hairs is too sluggish to reach the off-screen missiles. Then there is the problem of attack ships that sneak up to your missile launchers and destroy them. Since you are too busy trying to destroy the off-screen missiles, many times you won't see your launchers getting attacked at the bottom of the screen. The score takes a dive, mainly because the play mechanics are not implemented well in this aspect. So my suggestion is that you stick with "Classic" mode it is as fun as the old arcade machine.
Pros:
+classic mode
+co-op gameplay
+nice colors
+good sound effects
+good controls
+good music
+good FMV
Cons:
-ultimate mode sucks
-game cheats
-lacks variety
