Geometry Wars - Galaxies

I had geometry Wars Evolved 2 on the Xbox 360 and i must say, while my favorite level from it, pacifism, isnt in this version, this is an extremely fun and addictive game. it takes a bit of getting use to using the touch screen to shoot if your use to other console versions or PC. But this is a very fun game and for the price I paid for it through the seller, New Hampshire Wholesalers, for 5 bucks was a steal. Very impressed with how promptly it arrived, much sooner then amazon's estimated delivery date. All in all i give this game 5/5 stars and the seller 5/5 stars as well.

Just a FYI... this is the UK version of the game! I just ordered it and received the UK version and after talking to Amazon on the phone, this is the only seller selling this game so it's either UK or nothing. However, the Nintendo DS is region free so it should play perfectly fine. As for the game itself... it's very fun. There are tons of levels so you'll never get bored. The controls are pretty good with the stylus, not as good as on Wii with the Classic Controller, but still fun. If you're a fan of Geometry Wars, then it's a must buy. If you're not a fan, I would still recommend it because it's only $20 and has plenty of levels to keep you playing for a while.

I haven't played a good shooter since the 90s. Side scrolling and vertical scrolling shooters went the way of the dodo because... well, I don't know, because I really like those kind of games back then (and even now). It's just a mindless test of dexterity and reflexes for me. It's also fun to see things blow up. While this isn't exactly a side or vertical scrolling shooter, it's still fun to dodge enemies and bullets (actually, just geometric shapes). The controls are very intuitive (I use the D-pad to move and the touch screen to shoot). In fact, I like this setup much more than using 2 sticks. I only have two complaints. Since the DS Lite is a bit small, it really hurts my hand, but that's more of a problem with the DS than the game. What makes it worse is that the bomb is mapped to the shoulder button, which contorts my hands even more. It'd be nice if you can bomb with a double tap on the touch screen.

At first I thought I had wasted 30 bucks, but then I changed the controls to allow the stylus to move the ship and the d pad to fire. It took getting used to, but the game became addicting. It even includes a full version of evolved. Very highly recommend.

I played the original Geometry Wars at my friend's for the 360 when it first came out and I thought it was a very original game. Galaxies takes it to the next level by including an drone with many power ups, new enemies, online play, and of course the original retro evolved in a single package. This is a game that is easy to learn and difficult to master, and will keep you entertained for hours.
