    Quick review of GeoWars 2, same thing I posted to my blog.

    The Good:
    + Same GeoWars action you've come to know and love
    + Different modes
    + Achievements seem a lot easier (but just as frustrating) to get compared to the first

    The Bad:
    - No online co-op, hopefully this'll be patched in.
    - Most modes get boring after a bit.
    - Some of the achievements seem based on luck (I'm looking at you treaty) than actual skill.
    ? Why is it called "Retro Evolved" when there is no "Retro?"

    The Ugly:
    :( Graphics. Why is it so colorful? I'd prefer an option to change the grid color and have the same graphics of GeoWars1. :/

    Worth a buy?

    If you love GeoWars, yes. If you haven't played the games before, I'd suggest playing the demo(s) of 1/2 and seeing for yourself. 1 is still relevant for 200gs and retro mode, but it's been replaced by Retro Evolved 2 for Evolve and other modes.

Since then there have been numerous imitating Dual-Joystick shooters available on XBLA, so it speaks volumes to say that the release of Geometry Wars : Retro Evolved 2 completely surpasses all the other downloadable shooters that have come out previously.   What makes Retro Evolved 2 so outstanding is its ability to de...

      During the initial months of the release of the Xbox 360, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved was considered to be the best launch Arcade title.
