When I played the first GW, I was blown away by how addicting it was when all the other arcade games IMO were pretty bad. This is the second arcade game (after the first one) that is actually worth the price. With all the game types to the cooperative play with another partner on the same console, this game is amazing. The music is also remastered with about 6 new tracks depending on the gametype. As soon as I bought this, my friend and I played it for like 3 hours because of the need to get to the top of the leaderboard. The game is extremely action packed and gets very hectic as the game progresses. A perfect example of what arcade games should be. If you are looking to buy one of the Geometry Wars games, this one is probably your best buy due to the Wii version being overpriced and the first one being a little outdated (but still extremely fun!) I highly recommend this game due to the pure insanity on coop mode and is overall a great purchase!
