The Good

It's Space Invaders meets air hockey, Stylus controls are easy to learn, Strategy revolves around different alien colors and chain possibilities, Short rounds are perfect for handheld, Multiplayer requires only one cartridge.

The Bad

Random flicking works too often, Presentation and play modes are bare-bones, Graphics and audio are on the simple side.

The Bottom Line

Monster Bomber challenges players to power up and fling different colored balls on the touchscreen to hit rapidly descending, multi-colored monsters on the top screen. Destroy all monsters and you pass the stage -- but if they reach you first, it's game over!
