The new episode has 25 campaign missions as you fight to defend your planet against alien invaders. With more destructive weapons, more bosses, a new sound track and more things to blow up – in other words a whole pile of carnage and fun! If that’s not enough there’s an online mode and you can also create your own missions with a collaborative mission editor.
