Geometry Wars 2: how to add complexity to a classic

Ben Kuchera writes:

"It has taken me quite a while to determine what I think of Geometry Wars 2. While the overall feel and concepts of the game stay close to the original, much of the core game play has been changed, and this dramatically changes how the game feels. First, your gun doesn't level up, so there is only one type of fire through the entire experience. Two, you don't get multipliers for killing enemies. Now you have to kill enemies, and grab the little green balls they drop before they disappear. This is very reminiscent of Everyday Shooter, and forces you to move in a much more aggressive manner."

Ah how I love Geo Wars. This reminds me to go play it!

Loved these games! It's nice having these just added to my Xbox one library over time. Always have something to do even during game launch droughts.

Daayum, they are killing it with X1 BC support. Now just show me some nice exclusives at E3 and I'll have no complaints.

I,bought some side scrolling Ninja game back in the day on XBL on 360 but I can't remember the name of it. It was fun as Hell! It was cell shaded and pretty violent. I wish they would bring that to BC. Anyone remember the name of that game?

Was it N+ or mark of the ninja?

DaFeelz3318d ago

Two good guesses. I'm leaning towards Mark of the Ninja. N+ was only a single room you had to solve and MotN was a true side scroller. Both were violent as shit though.
