Overall: Overall this game is a classic and it is very fun to play and it doesn't require a long drawn out complex plot to be a good game either because in these arcade games there is only one objective and that is to win and set a high score! I rated the game overall a 9.4 because it is a fun classic game that everyone can enjoy for its simplicity Graphics: For its time period the graphics were amazing and they are still really good, all of the sprites of the enemy ships look great and very colorful and very unique. I like the graphics for these arcade games because of how classic an simple they need to be to make the game fun but still make the game look good and appealing to play, I scored the game an 8 for the graphics which is really good for a classic arcade game, well done Galaga. Sound: The sound of the game is pretty decent, it does offer a playing environment instead of a soundless one, the game's music sound is really simple and it does enhance the game play and makes it more fun to play as well. Some may find it irritating, but I think it makes for the perfect arcade experience, I rated them a 7 out of 10 because on how it makes the game more fun to play instead of a soundless game background. Addictiveness: The game itself and all of these classic arcade games are meant to be addicting and make you want to waste several dollars worth of quarters playing and trying to beat your high score and make it to first place on the high score page. I played it a lot to try and get a high score and I managed to get 40,000 or so as my high which is a little low for me considering since I have the actual game for Nintendo and my high score is around 67,000 and the experience varies for computer to controller to joystick in the arcade days. For addictiveness I gave it a 7 because it was very addicting and it will get you hooked for several hours of fun if you like playing classic arcade games it is meant to be addictive and guarantee lots of fun, it is just like pac man always trying to get better! Story: Like I said before most of these classic arcade games are good without a long story that drags out forever, that is what made them awesome and fun to play, because of their simplicity that makes them fun to play. I really like that about these games is how they can be fun without having to be long and complicated, these games have one purpose and it is to make you addicted and want to play it more, and I think that is easier to do with a more simple game like these classic arcade ones, so I gave the story a 4 because the objective is really simple and I think it doesn't need a detailed complicated story to be a great game. Depth: The game offers a fun to play environment and it is easy to pick up on an play, you move the white ship at the bottom while firing to destroy all of the enemy aliens at the top as they come up to fire at you, easy as that all you have to do is do that and keep it up through the levels and keep clearing them. I just destroy most of them as they come around in their loops, then there are very few still left. The alien ships attempt to either capture, run into or shoot at your ship to make you explode, sometimes it can be hard to avoid getting a lot when a lot of them come at you all at once, but for the most part it is pretty easy to avoid capture and destroy all of them. You can also get a big bonus when you make it to the challenging stages when they fly across the screen in loop, a perfect 40 gets you a big bonus and that is what I usually get. The game is easy to learn and play but it is still fun and challenging and that is what makes it fun and addicting to play. I scored them a 5 on the depth because it does have many levels and becomes increasingly challenging and fun Difficulty The difficulty is not that hard like I said before the controls are simple, all you have to do is move across the bottom of the screen and shoot with 1 button, it is very easy to play. But as for game difficulty it does get harder to clear all of the alien ships and they move a lot faster as well, but still nevertheless all arcade games get more difficult as you get higher in the levels, and this game is no exception. I scored the difficulty a 7 out of 10 because it may start out as easy but then it becomes harder to dodge their shots and avoid getting hit, but that is what keeps it exciting and fun to play because it would be no fun to keep playing a game where all of the levels are exactly the same and it always stays easy and never changes, that is no fun, you always want a challenge!
