  1. XG Blast! is an entertaining and addictive shooter but Geometry Wars does it better.
  2. 70
    Ultimately, however, a somewhat frustrating difficulty curve, and an overall lack of originality, ensures that there is little reason to recommend this over Geometry Wars: Galaxies, despite its comparable competence.
  3. In conclusion, XG Blast is a good arcade shooter that doesn't try to be too clever on the DS and features some classic gameplay for those that enjoy this genre.
  4. As shameless a clone of Geometry Wars as you could ever hope to see. But fairly good fun all the same.
  5. Not only a ferocious challenge but a hearty high-score chaser to boot. Derivative, but derives from the best. [Apr 2009, p.71]
  6. A great arcade blaster let down by the limits of the DS's controls, but it's still good fun. [Feb 2009, p.83]
  7. With lively graphics and a real pick-up-and-play attitude, XG Blast is an entertainingly addictive game.
