Tower Defense + Perfect Difficulty + Defeating Aliens = Instant Classic
I've always been an on-again, off-again fan of strategy games but never a huge fan of any tower defense game. Rarely do I download a demo and decide after reaching the end of the demo that I MUST own a game. Defense Gr... Read Full Review

Spectacular Defense Game ... I was smiling all the way to the end...

A solid single-player tower defense game with just enough twists in design to make it stand out.
Defense Grid is a single-player tower defense game in a futuristic "protect your planet from the mysterious enemy" kind of setting. If you can get your tower defense fix easily from Warcraft 3 maps, or are content with ... Read Full Review

its pretty unique and can be fun at times, but at other times, it just doesnt add up.

This game lacks the depth of a good tower defense game, anyone that is a fan of the genre will be utterly disappointed.
Tower defense games can be extremely fun, thousands of players still play Starcraft and Warcraft only to experience the user-made tower defense maps that thrive in the bnet community. In comparison, this game isn't worth... Read Full Review
