In spite of the clunky control, it's still very easy to use, and the action is slow enough to allow you plenty of time to scheme. Once you've solidified a game plan, you can watch your towers take down the invaders while upgrading units' attack range, power and fire rate by plunking down an exorbitant amount of cash, which is earned by turning your foes in to space-paste.

The later of the 20 unique levels can grow frustratingly difficult, but the amount of replayability due to different challenges and scoreboards are more than enough to justify picking it up, or at least buying it when it eventually makes its way to Xbox Live.
