SDI (Japan)

A strategic defence game from Sega, Global Defense puts the player at the controls of an orbital station tasked with shooting down ballistic missiles before they hit the cities, in a revisited Missile Command spirit. Managing priorities, the laser beam and trajectories imposes a rising tension and a real reflex dimension. The production stays plain and the formula repetitive over the long haul. For a retro scoring game fan, someone curious about Missile Command variations or a player after pure tension, the title keeps a snappy effectiveness and a gripping challenge.
