6 games in one. When my buddies aren't haloing we are constantly trying to beat each others scores. This game brilliantly decided to put the leaderboards on the game selection screen, constantly pushing you towards number 1.

One of the most original, groundbreaking, and entertaining arcade games to be released in a good decade or two, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 is powerful and like none other. The high octane, frantic gameplay, the most colorful HD arcade game to ever be released, the incredible soundtrack it brings to the table, there is nothing Geometry Wars does not have and offer. I find myself so addicted to this game as to where I can't physically put the controller down and walk away. This game has it all with little to build on. New modes, HD, new soundtrack, this is all coming from an already successful game on the arcade marketplace. There are few games with the kind of energy Geometry Wars brings and I can't think of one other arcade game that comes close to this one. I will never be able to get enough of Geometry Wars, if your into video games at all this is a game that is a no brainer must have.… Expand

It's really the same thing as last time. It's either I'm too stupid to fine out how to play on LIVE, or the game is meaninglessly without one. Still fun to try to get to the top of the leaderboards, though.

An inoculation against boredom. A preventative measure against Alzheimers and Parkinsons. The cure for just another brain drain game. Eastern wisdom says the beauty is in the simplicity of the art. This is Zen perfection. If this is Zen then I’ve plunged in to a sea of excess and gratuitous eye and ear popping decadence the likes of which would make Nitze proud. I would rave more but I crave more must… go. tag newwon… Expand

A truly worth successor to the original. Since GW2 came out I have found that when I go back to GWRE I find it bland by comparison. Given how great GWRE was, that says a lot about the sequel.

If you've played the original, its more of the same, but with additional options. If not, the bet way to describe GW2 is an Asteroids clone on acid with different game modes. It true gameplay, and its addictive. Its one of the best games on Arcade I'd pay the £6.80 for. SCORE : 88%.

Don't believe the hype. While GeoWars 2 is good, it's not THAT good. Let's start with the good: intense game play, great music, bright and vibrate visuals. Now the bad: Frustratingly unresponsive controls. It is far too difficult to control your ship with accuracy. Before long, you'll be cursing the game hen you fly up and to the right instead of just up or in the edge of a gate instead of through it. The same goes for shooting, making in very difficult and frustrating to aim at times. For a game that boils down to nothing wiggling your two thumbs on two analog sticks, having controls tht aren't as responsive as you need them to be is kind of a big flaw, in my eyes. Don't get me wrong, still a solid game but it could use some improvement.… Expand

A solid sequel with great new modes thats gonna make you play Geometry Wars 2 for long long hours. The game looks much more beautiful than the first one , with much more colors and explosions. Definitely a must have XBLA title. NO ONLINE mode is the only bad thing about this game.

The expansion of game modes really increases the games re-play value. Co-op is frantic but understandably fun due to two people feeling relief after a difficult run.

This game is the perfect party game, it has more replayability than $60 titles. i would have loved to have upgradeable weapons like in the original, and multiplayer high-scores, but the new game types and multiplayer more than make up for it.

This is so much fun on multi-player - we setup a big screen with a projector and had a blast. Controls are sensitive but work well. Another reviewer said the controls were unresponsive - I didn't find that at all.
