Gamers Universe: Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 Review

Gamers Universe writes: "Bizarre Creations' Geometry Wars Retro Evolved on Xbox 360 was the stand out first generation Live Arcade title. Even to this day it remains one of our most played games – quite some feat, when you consider the number of hours we've put into Activision's other stable mate, Call of Duty 4. But with the original so perfectly tuned and executed, how on earth could Bizarre improve it?

First things first, this is still very much the same Geometry Wars (GW) we all know and love. It looks like GW, it sounds like GW and, after four hours' play, it even makes us smell like GW. It's a sweet, sticky, honey-like smell if you're interested. You sick puppies."

Pros:
+Six unique game modes
+That are all worthy additions
+Stunning Visuals
+Compulsive leaderboards
+Just-one-more-go obessive

Cons:
-No online co-op
-Lack of multiplayer leaderboards
-It makes us dream of space ships
-Some people are just too good at it

Ah how I love Geo Wars. This reminds me to go play it!

Loved these games! It's nice having these just added to my Xbox one library over time. Always have something to do even during game launch droughts.

Daayum, they are killing it with X1 BC support. Now just show me some nice exclusives at E3 and I'll have no complaints.

I,bought some side scrolling Ninja game back in the day on XBL on 360 but I can't remember the name of it. It was fun as Hell! It was cell shaded and pretty violent. I wish they would bring that to BC. Anyone remember the name of that game?

Was it N+ or mark of the ninja?

DaFeelz2540d ago

Two good guesses. I'm leaning towards Mark of the Ninja. N+ was only a single room you had to solve and MotN was a true side scroller. Both were violent as shit though.
