Now, FOX Interactive is releasing Independence Day for the PlayStation, and in concept, it is almost an upgrade of sorts to Space Invaders. One of the most original and popular video games from the early days of the industry was Space Invaders. But mid-level jet jocks who give this game a chance could find that Independence is worth fighting for. You seem to slam into stuff everywhere.Īir Combat and Agile Warrior vets should obliterate these aliens in one sitting. That's because the gameplay area is boxed by the massive mothership overhead, the buildings below, and a surrounding alien force field. The controls are basic, but sometimes the jet-fighting seems like supersonic pinball. It's a gas, but unfortunately the stunts have little to do with mission objectives. You can actually pull stunts like flying underneath the Eiffel Tower. The graphics hold their own with cinemas lifted from the flick, sharp-looking jets, and fun ground-level views. elimination covers IB international locales, including major cities such as New York, Paris, and Tokyo. For the grand finale, you pilot a captured saucer. Here you fly an international air force composed of 10 jets, including fighters like the F-15 Eagle, the A-10 Wart-hog, and the Russian Sukhoi Su-72. Independence Day does a nice job of transferring jets-versus-flying-saucers combat from the big screen to the PlayStation. Ask your dad if he'll let you borrow his PC for a while.

This is going to be one of the hottest-selling CDs around, and it's kind of a shame that you won't be able to buy this for PlayStation or Saturn. Many of the things included on this PC CD-ROM aren't even included in the final cut of the movie, so you get to see a lot of extra effects and scenes.There are interviews with the cast and crew, as well as the writers and directors.There are bloopers, movies and stills from the movie,models,maps.in short,you name it, Inside Independence Day has it. Independence Day proved to be the biggest box-office hit of the summer, and Inside Independence Day lets you find out just what went into making the biggest blast of the decade.This is a whistle-stop tour through the amazing world of special effects, planning and sheer imagination that went into the movie.

Normally we only preview games, but Inside Independence Day is so cool, we thought we would make an exception this month.
