Pocket Gamer:
Bizarre Creations's immensely popular neon-hued twin-stick shooter is coming to iPad under the name Geometry Wars: Touch.
The game has popped up on the App Store today, joining Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies to round out Activision's launch line up.
According to the game's listing, it's a full port of the Xbox Live Arcade original. Obviously, it's been reworked with the touchscreen in mind.
"As a port to Apple’s i-devices, Geometry Wars: Touch is a great addition to anyone’s portable game library. The only hardship is the controls take a long time to get used to, but as we’ve found in our testing and just by looking at the leaderboards, it can be done. And for the price, Geometry Wars: Touch is easily a best buy. "
hmm...I'd be tempted to buy it had I not already outplayed it on the 360 and DS :X.
Finger Gaming: Those who’ve played Geometry Wars proper will likely find the controls insufferable, but what if you happen to be that other guy – you know, the guy who denies there’s anything wrong with the iPhone’s control mechanisms no matter how bad they can be.
AppSpy: Plenty of other developers have taken a crack at trying to recapture the magic of Geometry Wars and some have certainly come close, but nothing quite manages to come close as the real thing.
