If you liked Geometry Wars, or if you're a fan of Atari 2600-era arcade games like Asteroids, this is the game for you. I personally loved the original GW's, and the ante is upped significantly for the sequel with six different modes, local 2-4 player multiplayer, and new enemies. Thankfully the game is better paced, and it doesn't take 5 minutes to get enough enemies on screen to be challenging. Add in some creative achievements that are fun and difficult to get, seperate leaderboards for all six game modes, and improved visuals and you have a worthy sequel to one of the best XBLA games ever made.

This game is much easier than the past Geometry Wars game. It is a lot better though. There are 6 differant play modes which are much better than only one. Also the multiplayer is a fun addition. If you have the Microsoft Points, this is a must buy.
