Basically A More Advanced Defender, Indeed

Sound: 6/10 Just some arcade space shoot em up sounds.

Play: 6/10 Some cool ideas with the teleporting, and I still find the Defender controls tight responsive and--once you get used to them--fairly fun. But still, nothing remarkable.

Feel: 8/10 Cuz of the look, the familiar and fun gameplay, and that awesome Scanner making a comeback in this game like the prior game, I have a special feel for this game.

Attachment: 7/10 Despite my " feel" for this, and the fact I would probly return to this over Defender (tho not positive on that), oh and my love of the Scanner/Radar feature of this era of space shooters, I don't see myself replaying this all that often. Still, not one to shy from. And definitely worth a play.
