It’s a fresh idea with decent graphics and gameplay. You won’t mistake it for a big-budget shooter or elaborate adventure game, but that isn’t what it was aiming to be either.
Given the time and I think folks could come to appreciate this quirky Xbox Live Arcade title … it’s unfortunate that being released so close to Halo 3 many have chosen to pass on it.
The problem with GEON: emotions is that it's over far too quickly. Unless you are trying to get gold in every time trial, chances are you're going to complete the game in a matter of hours. Worse yet, the game has a tendency of getting a little repetitive the more you play it.
The core process of gathering up pellets and delivering them to the goal simply isn't as fun as it should be. For a game built upon this crucial cornerstone, no matter how many ideas are added on top of it, the whole construction remains unstable and, soon enough, un-enjoyable.
Geon: Emotions is a pretty cute and easy to learn puzzle game on Xbox Live but nothing spectacular or addicting.
The biggest problem is that it just lacks the single-player appeal of a Pac-man, as well as the multiplayer depth and longevity of a game like Bomberman.
Here's a list of things that this is less interesting than: rubber gloves, garden peas, Spam and watching paint dry (of course). [Issue 26, p.117]
