Some would say Geometry Wars Retro Evolved was Xbox 360’s best launch game — it beat early hyped games like Perfect Dark Zero, Call of Duty 2, and Kameo to win the heart of 360 early adopters, despite the fact that it was 2D and a cheap XBLA version of a game that had previously been included with Project Gotham Racing 2. It held the record for a long time as the system’s most-downloaded game, and that title was well-deserved, considering that a lot of $60 games haven’t held a candle to the kind of frantic fun you can find pushing that little red ship around the board.
Now Bizarre Creations is attempting to follow up with Geometry Wars 2, and after our playthrough at E3, we’re sold. Not only has the developer filled out the game with multiplayer and co-op modes, but Bizarre has figured out a way to make the super simple, yet extremely fun gameplay go deeper than ever before.
