Byte Size Review - Geo Wars 2
Kryptinite | 1:34 PM on 08.12.2008 18 comments




First and foremost, this game is very addicting. At first I had no intentions on buying Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 but after playing the demo for 5 minutes I was instantly hooked. In the video, I did not speak on the multiplayer aspect of the game because I have yet to play it. There's a lot of people complaining that there is no online multiplayer but I am quite okay with that decision to leave it out.

The greatest addition to the game overall would have to be the implementation of the leaderboards. Each game type has its own leaderboard which shows the ranking of your friend list. Once you choose the game type you want to play, the person on your list with the next highest score will be displayed in the right hand corner always giving you something to shoot for. This may sound like a small change but if you're a competitive person like myself, this will keep you playing way beyond the 10 minutes you set aside for the game. A A...that's all it takes to get back into a new game.

So if you haven't done it already, pick this game up.

@galagabug

I was thinking about doing that. Hell I still might.

Also, I hate Vimeo for making me go to GameVee.com

Uh, your review certainly takes more than a byte of storage. I must say I'm disappointed.

It's been "loading" for like 20 minutes.

And I've been working on a review too, but galagabug put it best.

"A A...that's all it takes to get back into a new game."

So true. That's your Instant Replay post right there.

I have never understood how people play this game. There is just so much going on on the damn screen. How do you tell what's going on ???

Aaaah! I want to play this so bad. I should be getting my X360 back today though so the wait will be over soon.
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
Here's my setup:

Macbook
Snapz Pro X
EyeTv Hybrid
Final Cut Express
Garageband sometimes for music.

It's not quite the setup I want because I can't do HD yet but soon enough. I could hook the Mac up to the LCD and play off of that but I'm lazy.

Also playing this game on 13 inches is not recommenced.
blehman's Destructoid Blog
Is it distracting sitting on 13 inches Kry:?

:P
