    you will go to war when see THIS geometry!! (2)

    bizzare creations have done it again, with another entry in fabled geometry wars series. not since fur fighters have we seen such an epic shoehorning of good brain ideas into an exquisite tv game such as this.  bizzare creations put thinking caps on, and gave each other several thumbs up whilst methodically crafting a game played with 1-4 people (local only).  bizzare made game more challenging then before, with extra mode for your enjoyment, the graphics are real HD, and o boy! you can really tell this time!! i often found myself nodding in agreement with the design choices being made in the game, everything thought out to utmost care, and placed in the levels with a watchmakers delicate touch. the music can best be described as belissimo, and the sound effects will have you dancing in delight with the echoing sounds of each manufactured explosion.  the lastability of the game is good, in general i found it far more lastable than games of simliar pedigree (assault heroes).  only companies like bizzare can make games like this and it really shows in this case, as they have put a product on shelves that stands the test of time, and makes other games seem like crappy level based shooters in comparison (assault heroes). you cant buy this one second hand, and boy did i want to because i'm a little tight on cash, but thats no excuse not to buy this game. theres lots of games i want to buy, i just dont have the money, not everyone gets to play the games they want to, they just stare longingly at boxarts, and salivate with idea that one day, they may get to control and manipulate the characters shown on the cover, find out their stories, and gently ungulate in the rich tapestry created by the game designer. bizzare creations is such as designer, for their considerable efforts, i reward them with this four star review.

      Back in 2005, Geometry Wars was one of the leading Xbox Live Arcade titles, and it went a long way to justify that Digitally Distributed games could work in a console environment.
