Geometry Wars 2:Retro Evolved

Price:800 Microsoft Points($10)

Where to get it:XBLA


Geometry Wars 2 is a twin stick shooter.It's basic premise is to get as high a score as you can before you die or the time runs out.While visually stunning with absolutely no slow down no matter how much action is happening onscreen,the true beauty of the game is in its variety of game modes.With 6 game modes,ranging from scoreattack to a mode that see's you unable to fire your weapons the game makes you play in different and interesting ways.
Though fun and compelling in its own right Geometry Wars 2 becomes downright addictive with the inclusion of friends high scores.Even while your in game the next highest score and its holder are visible in the top right corner.It really adds that extra compulsion to do your best and it gives the game that one-more-go aspect that all scoreattack games should have.

@Jazz try Shatter on the PSN I think you will like it as it is the PSN alternative for 7.99 or 6.99 I think and you will be happy.

There are many twin stick shooters out there on the market (obviously with Geometry Wars as the main one because it basically made the genre famous). What makes the second installment of Geometry Wars so different that it warrants a purchase? I could certainly go out and buy other twin stick games like Zombie Apocalypse.

I love Geometry Wars. I was a little disappointed with the sequel, but it was still worth purchasing with its six unique modes.

The friends high-score list was a brilliant move in this game. Always having a score up there to chase just keeps you going. A great game.

@Kevin:As Greg said the high score at the top of the screen is a great feature and as Brian said the unique modes really make it a different experience from other twin stick shooters.I would also highlight the enjoyable gameplay.The combination of bright colours,sheer amount of enemies and the fast pace of the game make it a cut above the other Twin stick shooters available on the market
