Gamespot Reviews Tempest

Sloppy emulation and a sloppier enhanced mode make this version of Tempest a package to avoid.

The Good
* The particle effects in the evolved version are pretty .

The Bad
* The same particle effects and other visual "enhancements" make it
hard to see what's going on
* The Xbox 360 controller lacks the precision of the original's dial
* Sound isn't emulated properly.

4.5/10
