Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved

geno's Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved (PC) review

Frantic and addicting

Geometry Wars involves steering your ship around different varieties of shapes all want to hunt you down. And by steering I of course mean shooting in the face.

Quite compact, GW features only one mode, and with very few options. The game starts out easy, with only small waves of few shapes chasing you at first, but it picks up quickly. Eventually you'll be getting swarms of fast, dodging enemies coming at you, pushing your survival skills to the limit.

The game isn't technically deep, but the bright neon colors and fast gameplay make it a fun diversion and also worth it's price, currently available on Steam for only 3.99. Those who haven't played it yet should really try it out.

There are not many who lament the loss of the arcade space-shooter. With the great advances in visual technology over the years, it seems a strange choice for a developer to step back a couple of decades and hearken back to a simpler time. But that is exactly the premise behind Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, as the popular Xbox Live Arcade game makes the transition to the PC.As expected Geometry Wars' graphics are nothing to write home about. The style is reminiscent of retro games, but it has be...
