Right here goes... The graphics, although jazzed up a little, are still hardly pushing the PS to it's limits. Even a Megadrive could (and did - Star Control) do a much better effort. Secondly, there are 60 levels in the game, most of which can be cleared of asteroids in seconds, and the background changes after each 15 levels. Again, hardly pushing the machine there really considering that the 4 background images are very uninspired. I cleared the game on my first play! At least the origional game went on into infinity (I presume.) Lastly, although the new weopans are pretty cool, they don't appear randomly - ie: on the first ten levels you get mines, next ten levels you get homing missiles, next ten you get smart bombs etc. This aspect takes a lot of the fun out of happening upon something interesting early on.Oh, and the two player mode is as fun as a bout of ... in a space suit. Co-operative play only!! There isn't even a mode where you can fight your mates... I know it's cheap, but it's a 'three-games-and-it's-gathering-dust' title I'm afraid. Why doesn't someone release Star Control for the PS?? Now that was great fun.
Fun for all people! June 17, 2001

Asteroids has great graffics and 3 ships to choose from. Now there is many new kinds of asteroids. ( Like crystal asteroids, alien astoriods, or ancient energy asteroids. There is also other cool stuff like space debris and comets. ) You can also get power-ups that recharge your shields, power-up your laser, let you set mines, and 13 other things. You can play with 2 people. The only thing a hate is that when you save your game it saves the zone not the level. ( There are 5 zones with at least 10 levels each. ) If you are wanting to play the classic asteriods all you have to do is find an object from that game and fire at it. This will unlock it.
Yep, I'm still an Asteroids addict! January 11, 2000

I was a master of the original Asteroids. And I found this Playstation version very challenging. I've finally mastered the Expert level, and I'm intimidated about trying the Hardcore level. Excellent graphics, sound, and options. If you were a fellow-addict, you will LOVE this game. If you never played Asteroids--this game is for those people who love to shoot-em-up and rack up the points. Best played with Dual shock controllers. ENJOY!

Good graphics and all, and I really was a fan of the original back in high school, but honestly ...it kind of gets old after a while. You can play the original, but I soon wondered why I like it (because it was something new in the 80's). If you're a fan of asteroids, you'll like it, if not, save your money.
