Talk Xbox: Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 Review

Talk Xbox writes: "Three years ago the Xbox360 launched in the Fall 2005, accompanied by very few launch titles. Many weren't very good and did not remain in anyone's minds, or hearts, with the exception of one Xbox Live Arcade game: Geometry Wars. Now after several years have gone by, the fellows at Bizarre Creations have blessed the world by releasing another Geometry Wars game for Xbox Live Arcade. If you were a fan of the original game, this sequel will only expand your love for the growing franchise.

If you've never played the first Geometry Wars, you won't be missing any of the fun that GW2 provides. With the original game, there was only one game mode. You were a white ship in a large rectangular square, enemies would appear in the corners of the screen, and you'd shoot by holding the right stick in their direction. GW2 doesn't make any drastic changes to the gameplay. But rather just adds plenty new modes for you to fool around with."

Another AAA XBLA arcade title to add to the ever growing list.

Between GeoWars 2 and Braid I haven't put a retail disc in my box since they came out. Too Human will change that.

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?"

Ah how I love Geo Wars. This reminds me to go play it!

Notellin2563d ago

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?

Auron2563d ago

Was it N+ or mark of the ninja?

DaFeelz2563d ago

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.

*sigh* Dragons Dogma... where for art thou?
