The orgional Gometry Wars started out as a game created by Steven Cakebread, who was working on the first Project Gotham Racing and needed a way to test out the Analog Sticks. He slowly started making more enemies, then eventuall made an entire game out of it. The office loved it, and eventually they had an in-office rule that no one was alloud to play it. They finnaly put it into PGR2 as a hidden game, which later became a hidden Gem.
Finnaly They created a new version, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, which was a standalone title on the Xbox 360 marketplace, but you can find the demo inside of PGR3.
Ever since release it has been called many great things like the "Xbox 360's killer app" or the "Halo of Xbox Live"
With all of this Hype I heard about it, when I got my 360 I bought it right away, ad it probably the best 4 dollars ive spent in my life.
GW:RE starts out slow, which can be very annoying, but once the pace speeds up it gets really addictive. Every time you get a highscore, the first thing that you will want to do it play it again right away and try to beat it. It is amazing, and is truely a Major Killer APP for the Xbox 360.
In conclusion, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved is an amazing game, and is a must buy for only being about 4 dollars!
Gameplay: 90/100
Its hard to give it such a good gameplay score, because there arnt exactly many gameplay mechanics in it. But overall, the game is just plain fun and addicting.
Graphics: 90/100
The graphics are not next gen, but at the same time they are not ment to be. I am not basing this score off of next gen visuals, but shiney, cool, and colorful visuals that the game shows. With all of the cool colors, explosions, ripples, etc, it juust might give u a seisure.
Value: 100/100
For only about 4 bucks? The value of this game is amazing. Enough said.
Sound: 80/100
I personally think that the background technoish music in GW:RE is very catchy. Also the lazer-zaps, explosions, and other cosmic sounds are a nice touch.
Xbox Live: 60/100
Well, its not exactly a game ment to play on Xbox live. It would be cool if there was a co-op...mabye in future releases.
Overall: 90/100
Great price, great value, must have.
