Tempest is Tempest but this one takes the cake! Very fun classic Atari game brought up to 4K standards, hence "4000" in the title. This game is basically TxK (Playstation VIta) and Tempest 2000 (Atari Jaguar) meshed into one package. This game is fun but very challenging with a lot of stuff happening on screen that can be distracting. If you're a Tempest fan, you'll enjoy this title. And the soundtrack is especially good.

This was an arcade classic remake, this was a game my wife and I loved at the arcade. I like the remake, but my wife not as much, using a PS4 controller compared to the arcade controls, which featured a spinner control that allowed to spin around the game board and shoot with ease, not it takes a little more coordination and concentration using a stick on the PS4 pad, all said I still love this game, updated gameplay,and also classic gameplay, great price too.

Jeff Minter delivered an absolutely breathtaking Tempest experience on the Playstation Vita in TxK. Tempest 4000 brings me right back to the days of the arcade where I'd spend an entire afternoon paying $.25 a shot for my OCD treatments. Like Sinistar, Tetris, and other arcade greats, the first few levels are a breeze. However, after you get the swing of things around the ring, you'll need 100% focus and laser sharp reflexes to manage what's happening on screen. Tempest 4000 does a great job of level designs and introducing new enemies. Both of which more complicated as you progress. Like Geometry Wars, you'll get that 'one more time' vibe every time you die and find yourself, hours later, with dry eyes from having not blinked. There are three different game modes Classic, Pure, and Survival, the latter giving you a load of lives but no restarts, and online leaderboards. The added power of the PS4 has brought zooming backgrounds, higher polygon enemies, and an array of new special effects. I purchased this game for two main reasons: 1. My PS Vita is going to die eventually 2. BestBuy had this severely discounted to $10. For those two reasons, I can't recommend this game highly enough.

A great twist on the original Tempest arcade game. It is very fun and provides hours of replay ability!

This game is so much fun!!! Not too many tunnel shooters around nowadays,but this one is probably the best and Best Buy has it at it's lowest price..the PS store has it for $40 . It got rereleased on all the major platforms with all the updates and runs great on my PS5. Very trippy visuals and a lot of action,highly recommended!
