Personally, i love this game. It was one of my favorites, and its actually very good. The controlls need to be learned, but they arent that hard. If you cant get the controlls, then its you, and this game isnt something you should be playing.
Also, the story is amazing, so thanks for leaving that part out completely.
I fucking love this game! And fuck this Guy! Can't get the controls, wow then you shouldn't play games you retard! This game rules and is funny and easy! I want it for the ps3
Just got it over the weekend. I at first thought the aiming and controls sucked, but after playing for a while I got used to it. I was rescuing and killing manti with ease. I do however agree that it's not for everyone. you need to have some pretty good handling of the ship to not miss colonists or power ups.
I actually beat the game to the end and i finally came upon the end video where the ship was being launched at planet earth and the game froze! stupid kids -_-
At least it's somewhat hilarious to see how the rescued civilians hang on to the player spacecraft's wings as if it was a leisured flight over a pasture.
Rented this back in the day and it wasn't bad at all. Certainly worthy of the name "Defender" -- it became insanely hard very quick. Wasn't good enough for $40-$50 purchase though but certainly worth $10-$15 used. And the original fanboys need to wake up, eat crow, and admit it: Stargate made Defender look like the glorified beta it was much like Smash TV did to Robotron 2084 ...
i disagree i loved this game when i played it and i think they did a very good job at making it (granted i havnt played the orginal feel free to call me out on that)
I remember beating this game multiple times as a kid and loving it to death. The only thing I remember being bad about this game is the storyline. I love fast-paced, frantic action and I good challenge
Uhm, dont wanna hate but, since this is Yours to review, i understand the control's more than what my middle school teacher taught me in math class, this game is pretty sick and if it was a Defender 2 for PS3, the graphics,controls,UI, and etc would been upgraded to its full potential as a Space Combat Genre game.
@Ushiodma yea it is one of the best ps2 games ive ever played but there is a few minor problems, but i love the way u can make anti missiles and tanks :)
this is one of the best ps2 game i ever played in my opinion. the graphics are good, the story is good, the strategies are good. finally, i could think this game is a sandbox because you can stay as long as you want in a level like survival or exploring
I definitely enjoyed this game, but I've only played the arcade version a few times so I don't have that loyalty to the original concept.
I really liked how this game successfully integrated RTS elements while preserving good space shooter gameplay. I never got tired of assembling little armies of tanks and missile crawlers to help defend positions or even attack enemy bases.
lol controls are just fine. it just depends on the person and in his case they didnt work out for him. and lmao guess he couldnt haul ass and kill the swarms fast enough to save those colonists XD
ok so last i played this game was probably about 6 years ago or so and it was awesome util it got so scratched up i couldnt play it anymore.. so i was looking through my closet when i came across some of my ps2 games and defenders was in there and it still doesnt work! but my conlusion is I NEVER FOUND OUT HOW TO UNLOCK EARTH FOR CO-OP MODE!! and i searched all over the internet for and still cant find it! if some knows how to unlock it then please tell me cuz i already beat the game
its a ok game exept it freaks me out when they eat the colonists. when i was 8 it gave me the creeps. yes the levels get annoying but very fast game play makes it fast. 2 play is very god though. the original one sucked in 2 play XD
Your right, it's great for a 3D Spaceship game, but the name DEFENDER just doesn't fit. I have the game, but it just doesn't fit in my type of gamestyle. I just hope they don't make another Remake of this again...
Man, years back I rented this game from Blockbuster. Loved it so much. Hard ass game though near the end. I don't care how much of a bad variation of the original it is, its still fun, and I actually did get good with the controls.
I fuckin hate this game don't be fooled by the environment this game is one of the worst games ever created so many bad memories from this so called game
Don't trust a single review these guys do. They have NO idea what the heck they're talking about. They probably worship the XB360, Halo, and COD like 80% of today's corrupt gaming community these days. Don't get me wrong, the XB360 and 90% of its titles are awesome, they just don't deserve as much fame as they get.
I'm replaying Defender as i write this comment. Its been several years since i last played it, and i forgot HOW AWESOME THIS GAME IS. I'm playing through every last mission, something ive never done before. Its been really challenging. I think you may have been a little too harsh on this game. in my opinion most of the missions really know how to get your adrenaline flowing, and its not a bad game at all! I just finished the dreadnaught mission which i never played before... Holy crap.
at 5:17 that look wrong. a guy getting inside someone butt.
and also in the defender it is not about savin the colonist. you just lose point if you don't save them but if you do wanna save them you earn points and also if you put them in the dropzone such a a tank dropzone it will give you a tank or a missle craweler or just drop the coloniest in the Heatlh dropzone and in the top of it give you health.

What the hell man. This game was awesome. Besides, it's a little pointless to review this game now, since it came out in 2002. Also, the fact that it isn't a 2d arcade piece of crap, makes it a lot better then the original game.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
2:30 they are abducted far away to make it challenging what the heck do u want? the colonists to be beside u and then captured? tsk tsk some ppl dont have all that great taste in games...
I think if rescuing colonist was turned into a mission objective senerio instead of a part of the goal n shoot element it would work and maybe a 3-d classic defender mix and the standard circle radar ... i dont know
..and if there would not be more than shooting, he would complain about that there is not more else to do. But the game is not a really good game, and Defender 2D was good because it was a computer game and you were able to shoot! He never played that game, that's for sure. He would gonna say Starship Assault is too slow on the planet, but a great game he likes. And it's not on his Playstation.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I actually have this game and I could see the person flying the plane SUCKS! The more challenging the games are the more you want to play them and beat it. And the guy's voice sounds gay and robotic....
I actually enjoyed Defender. It's been years since I played it, but I don't recall having any real problems controlling the ship. I'd advice anyone playing it to use a controller with a turbo fire feature, though. IIRC, it's one of those games that expects you to hammer away at the fire button as if it were 1985 again.
It's worth noting that the XBOX version of Defender supports custom soundtracks, which probably helps, because I don't recall the original soundtrack being very inspired.
Yes it's a challenging game for sure, but once you figure out the general layout it helps. Ships vary a LOT in potential for life or death. The original, the thin black one, or the last one you get towards the end fully powered can tear stuff up but the others are just sheer junk. That nasty limited range beam cannon some craft get is insane on damage. This game may be not a $50 title when it came out $40 would have been fair, but in no way it's bad except to unaccepting arcade fanboys.
It's a decent game, I have it. But it's hard, I'm stuck on a certain level. The enemies are ruthless and numerous, and you have to learn the levels well for where the colonists are, and where to deploy your allies, so you can't just pick it up and start blasting, or you'll lose. And you get swarmed and blown out of the sky a lot too.
All in all, it can be a very frustrating game, but if you put the effort in, it can be rewarding. You'd better be good at this type of game too if you want to survive, because it is hard.
@nazeres1 Woo! That's the first time I've got into the highest rated comments bit as far as I know. I haven't played Defender since I put that. Maybe I will again someday.
@Lorric101 i beat the entire game and i agree its hard until you get the most powerful lazor upgrade then ur blowing the aliens out of the sky even those huge slow ones are realtivey easy to kill at least when i played last however its been along time so im not 100% sure
Thank you for this video review. Wow, defender. I remember when I first played that game back in '82. I didn't do too well my first time around so my mom bought the Atari 2600 version and I whiled away the hours on that one. But this one, I don't know what to say. It looks interesting. I might buy it, I don't know.
Totally agree with you Mark!!! The problem is Defender was not meant to be a 3D game. The controls aren't the best. A 2D remake with enhanced graphics would have been the better way to go. Great Review!!
I have this on gamecube-same exact game as far as I know. I didn't think it was bad, but I never played the original then again. It certainly didn't reinvent the wheel of spaceship simulator shooters. And the 2nd-to-last mission on the Moon,so annoying...
@LewdCrudeTattoo Youre so stupid, how is reviewing a bad game ripping of the AVGN, first off, people have reviewed bad games before James Rolfe, and CGR had been around since Golden Eye on the N64! But, you are so narrow minded that you wouldnt know that would you? Also, the AVGN's thing is yelling and uh I dont know GETTING ANGRY.
@SoApBoX A more accurate statement would be Mark and Dave pioneered game review videos on the internet, there were video game review shows on TV and distributed on VHS at least 10 years before The Classic Game room. Otherwise I agree completely. I really wish the AVGN would ease up on being full of himself though.
Cold man cold...I think you're hating on this due to your love of the works of Eugene Jarvis alone as you barely even reviewed it other than just found reasons to hate. I loved the old games of that gaming master, and I also really loved doing this game. And in doing I mean helping bring it to market, I was on the Gamecube version of the game and I still enjoy the game to date. The challenge is stiff, levels are good, and the designs vary and are good. It's no 9 but a low 8/high 7 for sure.
Mark!!!? The game is EPIC! I thought for sure youd dig it man! The controls are tight, it's true to the original, and the presentation is amazing. Oh I love this game dude. Anyway, great vid as always bro!
I won this game in a drawing at a local store when it had just come out and was still worth 50 bucks. Since I didn't have a PS2 at the time, I sold it for around 8 bucks. Now I'm glad I did.
This still looks cool. Problem is it has the wrong name. This would have been better without the classic name because it's a high standard to live up to
im sick of 3d remakes of games cuase they always take to much away from the original game they should take certain things from the originals and add new things to enhance the 3d enviroment
I loved that game. Played through it a couple of times. I just saw it the other week in the bargin bin and thought about getting it again. Love Your Reviews keep it up!!!
i have this on the GC, and even tho it gets really hard after the first few missions and i never beat it, i still enjoyed it.
My favorite thing i remember was co-op.
There was this mission where you had to defend the base from those big red spiders, and me and my friend would collect as many guys to creat an entire tank defense that made the mission really easy and fun.
Problem is m8ty you cant beat the original game they might have better grathics but gameplay is what makes a game thats the problem with most modern games in my view these days .
My dad bought this game on Gamecube... And never played it. God, this game is bad. I remember me and my sister trying to go against each other on multiplayer, where we spent half the time trying to find each other, then the rest of the time staying completely still and going very close to each other to try and get a single hit in. Worst game I've ever played on the Gamecube.
Personally, i love this game. It was one of my favorites, and its actually very good. The controlls need to be learned, but they arent that hard. If you cant get the controlls, then its you, and this game isnt something you should be playing.
Also, the story is amazing, so thanks for leaving that part out completely.

Mark was reviewing games about 7 years prior to AVGN. He and the other guy(dave?) pioneered game reviews on video.

I find it sad that people need to be reminded of this fact. But the truth is the truth.
Broyale26 1 year ago
@SoApBoX A more accurate statement would be Mark and Dave pioneered game review videos on the internet, there were video game review shows on TV and distributed on VHS at least 10 years before The Classic Game room. Otherwise I agree completely. I really wish the AVGN would ease up on being full of himself though.

I thought it was a good game. Also, it it looked like you were having trouble with the inverted y-axis. You should have changed it.

Cold man cold...I think you're hating on this due to your love of the works of Eugene Jarvis alone as you barely even reviewed it other than just found reasons to hate. I loved the old games of that gaming master, and I also really loved doing this game. And in doing I mean helping bring it to market, I was on the Gamecube version of the game and I still enjoy the game to date. The challenge is stiff, levels are good, and the designs vary and are good. It's no 9 but a low 8/high 7 for sure.

Mark!!!? The game is EPIC! I thought for sure youd dig it man! The controls are tight, it's true to the original, and the presentation is amazing. Oh I love this game dude. Anyway, great vid as always bro!

So, basically, it would be a better game if it wasn't called "Defender".

I won this game in a drawing at a local store when it had just come out and was still worth 50 bucks. Since I didn't have a PS2 at the time, I sold it for around 8 bucks. Now I'm glad I did.

This still looks cool. Problem is it has the wrong name. This would have been better without the classic name because it's a high standard to live up to

i have this on the GC, and even tho it gets really hard after the first few missions and i never beat it, i still enjoyed it.
My favorite thing i remember was co-op.
There was this mission where you had to defend the base from those big red spiders, and me and my friend would collect as many guys to creat an entire tank defense that made the mission really easy and fun.

My dad bought this game on Gamecube... And never played it. God, this game is bad. I remember me and my sister trying to go against each other on multiplayer, where we spent half the time trying to find each other, then the rest of the time staying completely still and going very close to each other to try and get a single hit in. Worst game I've ever played on the Gamecube.
