Game Revolution writes: "eometry Wars: Retro Evolved was without question a great game. It revived the "one stick moves, other stick shoots" genre that had been dormant since Robotron. You controlled a ship which could move and shoot simultaneously, confined within a small box not much bigger than the screen, fighting a war against increasingly difficult and numerous geometrically shaped enemies. With its frantic pace, smooth controls, and fireworks-inspired visuals, its simple but polished design made for an enchanting, addictive, high-score chasing experience that, in retrospect, may have been the best launch title on the 360.
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 is such a fantastic improvement on every level that you won't go back, with even more intense and addictive gameplay than the first. You have my blessing to buy it and buy it now, but if you need more justification than superlatives (wholly deserved superlatives, mind you), read on."
+ Fast-paced, intense, arcade-style gameplay
+ Entrancing, swirling colors and sound
+ Six equally excellent modes
+ Fantastic value at $10
+ Exciting multiplayer mode
+ Just. One. More. Game.
- No online multiplayer
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.
