This game is a trip. As this mezmarizing game sucked me in I found myself flying through space and the feeling was pure joy.

It cost me $2.50 for the promotional price. Nice deal.. i just played this game for 3 hours while listening to NIN, this game is addictive in fun way. Highest score yet, 128,500,.. this game is gonna take some work, it gets hard fast..

This game is all about pattern. I have read posts of people who scored 40 mln points. The claimed that after beating the mark of 10 mln points it's you, who decide how high score you want to have:P

I actually got it for free here on my computer right after it got released, now I notice it's only 2.50. That's freaking cheap you know. I got the game on the 360 and I payed 5.

And the game rocks hard.

Bought the game today to pass some free time. Its pretty fun, even though I'm terrible at it. My High score is only 101,050, and on most rounds I'm only scoring 40,000-60,000. Still, I feel its $2.50 well spent.

yea this game is mega addictive

If you can get to 100,000 without dieing or useing a bomb your doing good, after 100,000 the game gets pretty hard, and you have to stay alive to keep your multiplier...

The game is a lot of fun. Can't go wrong when it's only $2.50. I have it for the 360 and it's very addicting but i just recently got it for my computer and it's still just as good. Miss the achievement markers though since it was pretty intense trying to get some of them on the 360 and added to the fun imo.

If you haven't played this game before i highly recommend it on either the 360 or the pc

Ya controls are pretty solid. The mouse for aiming feels weird so i just use the keyboard but if memory serves right you can just slap in a 360 controller. So its the same thing just no achievements

Does anybody know how to make the playing field the same as my screen resolution? I mean like I want to see all four corners of the field at once. I've tried locking the aspect and tried different resolutions, but the playing field always seem larger than the resolution.

You can't actually do that here. It's a fixed view where you can only see part of the gride.

I got my controls setup with the mouse and keyboard combo.

WASD controls the movement and I get a crosshair for my gun. Works out well when you want to shoot all the differnt angles.

I bought it when it came out when it was $10 :( Geometry Wars is an awesome game, but without any kind of online ranking it's fairly pointless. Stack that ontop of not having the retro mode the XBLA version has (which only costs $5) = I got ripped off. $2.50 seems like the right price for what we get.

I played on my computer with the 360 controller. I also liked to have the option to make the grid the same size as my screen resolution in the beggining but now I've gotten used to it and I wouldn't change it. If any of you is wondering which version to get then well... Get the PC version if you play your 360 in a SDTV. Other than that get the 360 version.

Yeah, I kind of wish there were online rankings. Maybe they could patch that in at some point. Doesn't seem like it would be that hard to work out.
