Media have rallied around Centipede: Infestation's post-apocalyptic action experience:
-- "It's a fun romp through a good story with some fun
gameplay...[Centipede: Infestation] has something that makes it
legitimately a fantastic party game." - Nintendo Everything
-- "On both platforms the game keeps true to the original with its fast
pace shooting style." - Pure Nintendo
-- "...Reimagining of the old-school, post-nuclear shooter converts it to a
run-'n'-gun directional shooter." - Nintendo Power
-- "It's a simple yet addictive gameplay concept, and the controls are very
quick and responsive, so there's not much there to impede you in your
goal of shooting evil bug enemies that are trying to kill you." -

Centipede: Infestation features run-n-gun shooting style gameplay with tower defense-style objects, paying homage to the original Centipede while bringing the brand into the 21st century. Players assume the role of an orphaned teenager hero named Max as he trudges through the wasteland, fighting off giant bugs. Along Max's travels, he encounters a young teen named Maisy who possesses a collection of seeds that hold the secret to bringing plant life back to the wasteland. Max and Maisy join forces to grow these gardens and protect the last natural resources on earth.
Centipede: Infestation carries a suggested retail price of $29.99. For more information on Centipede: Infestation, please log onto http://www.atari.com/centipedeinfestation.
