    One of the best arcade games on XBLA.

    Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 is a great sequel to Geo Wars 1.

    • The controls are still simple .
    • It's even more colorul and bliding then before.
    • Now with more than 2 game modes.
    • Local Co-op

    Yes, while playing Geo Wars 2 I still found myself getting lost amongst the enemy shapes and dying.  And now you have 6 new ways (game modes) of dying.   

    Local co-op is fun, if you have enough people to play of course.  The reason why online co-op wasn't implemented is because even a split-second of lag could cost you.

    This review was short just to recommend anyone that hasn't purchased yet (even though anyone that's interested in it probably already has it).  The $10 price point is highly worth the investment and you won't be disappointed.

    I got the game on release day, but was late with this review.

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