It's amazing that a game that got its start in the virtual garage of an Xbox racing game has endured and grown into one of gaming's biggest cult fan favorites. Geometry Wars, a simple polygon shooter that marries the best elements of Asteroids and Tempest made the leap from an easter egg diversion to standalone arcade title in the Xbox Live Arcade and it has now made the jump to mobile gaming with Geometry Wars: Touch, a blistering spectacle of lights and sounds that rival anything you can see of play on the iPad.
"As a port to Apple’s i-devices, Geometry Wars: Touch is a great addition to anyone’s portable game library. The only hardship is the controls take a long time to get used to, but as we’ve found in our testing and just by looking at the leaderboards, it can be done. And for the price, Geometry Wars: Touch is easily a best buy. "
hmm...I'd be tempted to buy it had I not already outplayed it on the 360 and DS :X.
Finger Gaming: Those who’ve played Geometry Wars proper will likely find the controls insufferable, but what if you happen to be that other guy – you know, the guy who denies there’s anything wrong with the iPhone’s control mechanisms no matter how bad they can be.
AppSpy: Plenty of other developers have taken a crack at trying to recapture the magic of Geometry Wars and some have certainly come close, but nothing quite manages to come close as the real thing.
