I recently cracked the top 1% of all Geometry Wars players when I scored 3.13 million to move up to #3043 in the world. According to MyGamerCard.net, there are approximately 307,000 players, so I just snuck into that top percent.

In my opinion, this 5 dollar Live Arcade game is one of the best games of all time.

The action is very fast paced, but it rarely feels uncontrollable.  The difficulty level is what I find most impressive.  The difficulty lies in the large number of enemies and the number of enemies continually and gradually increases as the game goes on.  At one point it looked like scoring a million points would be near impossible.  But perseverance and learned strategy raise the player's skill.  Then it seemed that surviving a million points would be impossible, but once again the skill increases as the game becomes more familiar and the intricate strategies are learned and practiced.

The player is constantly making decisions based on the enemy in front of him, his position on the board, and the number of bombs at his disposal.  Every death is a miscalculation and it seems possible to remove miscalculations, but to execute such precise calculations is what is so thrilling and compelling about this game.
