Bummed, I just noticed the Space Invaders: World Defense app doesn't really work anymore-- it doesn't connect to the servers or high scores, it errors out when you try and play outside.

Jokes aren't funny, characters aren't convincing, script full of dud. Somehow the murdering dictator is redeemed without any redemption arc.
Only for star trek completionists.
