Dual stick shooters have come and went since the OG's release that launched both LIVE and Achievements into the souls of us gamers. Most have been crap, let's be honest. Even Waves and Galaxies passed by with barely a blip on the radar. So now Bizarre Creations was tasked with making Retro Evolved 2 even more evolved and interesting than the first. In just about every way imaginable Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 is an improvement over the original and earns its price tag. This isn't more of the same.
The game starts you off with only Deadline mode available in single player. It's here where you should start groaning. What unreasonable amount of points must I get to finally unlock all six modes? Instead what Bizarre has done is forced you to taste each mode for a brief time. Sitting down to unlock the modes in Geo Wars 2 is a bit like sitting down for dinner at a chef's table. You get to enjoy each course to its fullest, but you're not overstuffed before the Stilton cheesecake is served for dessert. Making the player only have to run through a mode a handful of times ( I unlocked the entire game in about 15-20 minutes) to move on is brilliant."
Carlos "April proved to be a fantastic month for backwards compatible arrivals, with some of the most requested Xbox 360 games finally being made playable on Xbox One, all through the power of emulation. A new month means more titles and this week sees the first of May's BC titles bringing a double whammy for one popular series amongst the masses this week. Are they worth taking a look at?"
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?
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.
