Classic Game Room HD - GEOMETRY WARS: RETRO EVOLVED Xbox 360 review

Classic Game Room HD reviews GEOMETRY WARS RETRO EVOLVED for Xbox 360 from XBLA Xbox Live Arcade. This download game from Bizarre Creations is a cross between Robotron 2084 and Solar Quest on the Vectrex. Blast little geometric shapes with your space ship thingy using twin stick Robotron style controls. Slick gameplay and excellent presentation make this game stand out among many similar titles. Increase your multiplyer for a high score and tear into never ending waves of enemies as you play one of the most challenging and frustrating games ever created. Geometry Wars is great fun and well made, both good things for an excellent downloadable, affordable game from Xbox Live Arcade. This CGR review of Geometry Wars Retro Evolved has gameplay from Geometry Wars showing Geometry Wars game play in action. Are you looking for Geometry Wars tutorial videos or how to play Geometry Wars? Don't learn from CGR, I suck! But there is such depth and challenge to the game that fans of the arcade shooter genre will dig this one.

    It took you this long to discover Geometry Wars? If so, congrats on finding yet another great game off XBLA! I've been playing the game for YEARS now and my high score's only around half a million. The general rule of this game is to do laps around the grid (your choice) and shoot everything in front of your ship. You move faster than the enemies, so you can let them trail behind you and pick them off when they're too close for comfort.

    Okay, here's some tricks: You must always shoot where you're going to go, and then follow the cleared path. Most enemies are slower than you, so the huge mob after you is not very dangerous. Faster enemies have a lot of momentum, so always change direction slightly, they won't hit you. When you get attacked by blue triangles, keep shooting in one direction and try to fly through the hole in their formation you just made. Don't bomb if you have low multiplier, you get more extra lives than bombs.

    Super Stardust HD or Every Day Shooter are both good. Every Day Shooter does not have trophies, but it has a cool looking style and great music. Super Stardust HD is definitely better than both Every Day Shooter and Geometry Wars, it has splitscreen coop, online versus, the arcade mode has stages with end bosses. I definitely would say go with Super Stardust HD if you got the money for it and the add-on dlc.
