My Geometry Wars Review

Amazing visuals
Intense action
Just plain fun

Geometry Wars is an XBLA game that is the new age version of Asteroids. You take control of a ship in a rectangular playing field with enemies spawning all over the place, and your goal is to survive. The controls are as simple as they can be; the left control stick moves the ship, and the right stick controls your firing direction. As the game progresses, enemies appear more frequently and swarm you from all sides. If anything touches your ship, you lose a life. Lives are gained with points, and weapons are upgraded as you continue to kill your opponents. You start off with a few bombs, which clears the playing field. The game is played on grids that have psychedelic movements as you move and destroy enemies. Even though this is a very basic game, it is super addictive and before you know it, hours have passed. A definite buy from the Live Marketplace.

My buddy was the first one to show me this game. The found it up when he came up to the display 360. But the game is relatively simple to play. Yet it gets so intense, with all the worm holes and the different shapes following you. Then the shapes multiply and the worm holes get bigger. This game is really fun to play and you get achivements for it. So thats a plus too!
