Geometry Wars is a highly addictive game that's almost free! It's one of the best 360 release games!

User Rating: 8.3 | Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved X360
I've always liked simple addictive games such as puzzlers or arcade shooters, so when I saw this arcade shooter on the Xbox Live! Marketplace I simply had to have it. After having played the demo for quite a while I bought it, and I'm very happy I did.

The graphics are very neat. The game is, of course, in HD and that makes it look very cool. At first it looks just okay, but when you see how the net is manipulated by your shots and bombs you're amazed.

The sounds aren't that many, but the music is hip and memorable. And the fact that each different enemy makes their own sound when appearing is a smart thing, cause it makes you hear what's coming.

Geometry Wars is a great game that'll make you restart over and over again, just because you wanna see how many enemies the game can through at you at once. You start up with 3 lives and 3 bombs and your job is to shoot all enemies that appear. The longer you hold out without losing lives, the more points you receive for destroying enemies. The bombs destroy eveything on screen without giving you any points for it. You earn new extra lives and bombs when reaching certain scores. The achievements you can earn lengthens the value of this game. That's about all I can say about this game, you have to play it to understand why it's so great.

Should have featured different looking levels, just for the fun of it. All you see is all you get!
