To get straight to the point, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved is flat out
fun. You control your ship with the left analog stick while shooting in
many directions with the right analog stick. This simple control scheme
works amazingly well when getting mobbed by a screen full of baddies,
but when the going gets tough, just hit one of the left or right
trigger buttons to unleash a bomb that clears the screen to ensure a
second of safety. The game does a good job of keeping a steady frame
rate when all that you are seeing on the screen is a mountain of mayhem
with dozens of enemies and explosions on the screen at once.
The visuals are great when your are playing in the Evolved mode rather than the retro mode because obviously, the retro mode is based on a simple layout which tends to be very bland. The main mode you will want to play is the Evolved mode which looks amazing when there are many things exploding on screen that lights up any room. For only $5, or 400 Microsoft points, it would be hard to pass up this addicting shooter that anyone can play due to the very simple controls and concept. Give it a try by downloading the demo on Xbox Live and see how many times you come back to play it, you won't be disappointed.

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 ...

Geometry Wars is an extremely fun and addicting arcade game. This game rejuvenated the dual joy stick shooter genre with it's great colors, gameplay, and sound. The Leaderboard integration is good for comparing your highscores with your friends and other players. The only flaw worth noting is when enemies spawning ...
