So as I told you, I got Geometry Wars 2 yesterday. I downloaded the trial, played it for 5 minutes, and then instantly knew I had to get it. One of the coolest new features is that you score points faster (my high score on Geo Wars 1 {Retro Evolved} was 600,000 something, my high score on Geo Wars 2 is 2,000,000 something.) In other words, racking up points is a lot easier, assuming you know how to play the game. Geo Wars 2 features SIX modes to play (each with their own different awesome song!) Here they are - Deadline - Simple and quite similar to Evolved. You have three minutes to get the highest score possible. The biggest difference is that you have UNLIMITED lives, but not unlimited bombs, and dying reduces your score. Still a fun mode with great music!King - King does a very different twist on the classic formula. You can only shoot inside zones, which are basically circles to put your ship into, but when you slip into the open, you can't shoot. And whenever you go into a zone, the circle starts to shrink and lasts for a total of 8 seconds. So you're forced to switch in between zones every few seconds, and when more enemies spawn, things get really intense!Evolved - Evolved is classic Geometry Wars. You get unlimited time to get the highest score with four lives and four bombs to work with (you only got 3 bombs and lives in the original.) What makes Evolved better than the original Retro Evolved is that enemies spawn faster, so you won't spend the first five minutes taking a nap, waiting for the real action to begin. As I said earlier, you also score more points faster (my highest score was 2,000,000 something.)Waves - If you've played Project Gotham Racing 4 before, you might have played this game. In this mode, you have to fight against "waves" of enemies that spawn along one of the four walls and you try to survive as long as possible. This mode is quite difficult and recommended for advanced players only. Oh yeah, and you only have one life and no bombs!Pacifism - In pacifism, your goal is simple, survive as long as you can without firing. In fact, you can't shoot at all. Enemies keep spawning and the only way to get rid of them is to fly through a "gate." Gates,these (which also appear in Evolved, Deadline, and Sequence.) are like one-inch walls that when fired at bounce the shots off and into enemies. The gates fly around randomly and their flight direction is random as well. If you fly through the center of one, it will kill enemies nearby (but they have to be no more than an inch from the gate.) But beware that if you touch either end of the gate, you die.Sequence - The last mode you unlock, sequence gives you 15 levels where you try to kill all the enemies to move onto the next level. If you die, you move onto the next level, (but lives and bombs are still limited.) All in all, Geometry Wars 2 is an amazing game that deserves to be the Xbox Live Arcade game of the year with no competition! Download the trial right now, and tell me what you think! 1 Comments
You guys asked me a few questions yesterday so I though I would answer them.
What food do you like? ~tancred8120
American, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Antarctican, you name it and I'll eat it. The only thing I WON'T eat is fish. I tried fish when I was very young and I hated it, so I've never had it since. Although sea food is okay, just not fish.
What's it like playing online? ~tommat119944
Playing online is like a dream and a nightmare. It's awesome to play against other people because they can be so unpredictable compared to even the best AI. Unfortunately, most people online are mean 20 year olds who like to swear and tell bad jokes. The rest of the online community is either racist or annoying. You can find some very nice people online if you know where to look, but don't expect to find them instantly.
And to finish this, I went to Gamestop and picked up !
I haven't played a Tony Hawk game in a long time, and since it was only $25 (used), it seemed like a worthy purchase. I've also really wanted Timesplitters 2 for a while and since it was only $4, it was a no-brainer. Unfortunately, the game IS NOT backwards compatible on Xbox 360, but it was such a good and popular game that it will probably work in the next update. See you later!
