This is something which is always close to our heart for the people who have been into gaming when they were small. This will surely be the case when the new Space Invaders HD releases as a game on the Apple app store and can be used on the iPad. This version of Taito’s very popular game Space Invaders had released on the unlocked iPhone 4 but this new HD version is slightly different which can only be used on the iPad. Furthermore, this is not some kind of evolution of the new and improved Space Invaders Infinity which is not the original version of the game which we are pretty fond of. If we may say, this recreation of the older game is pretty good and we really like it when some classic game is recreated like this.

This game is of course slightly different from the version which was earlier released version for the mobile phone. First and foremost, the screen of the iPad can be used for this game with dedicated controls which will be there at the bottom of the screen. The game surface covers most of the top part of the screen and the lower part will sport the shot button and the joystick. The game will however only support a single player mode and the bottom controller can be used to control the ship in the game. Other than this you will also get the somewhat dicey Accelerometer control which can be adjusted from the iPad’s control which goes by the same name.

However for the people who do not want to only play a single player mode, there is an option for double player mode which is much like the classic arcade game where you can sit on the either side of the iPad and can control the game when it is your turn.
