Summary

[Xbox Live Arcade] Love it? Hate it? Does it make you angry? Does it calm you down? Feel the energy of powerful emotions as you compete amongst your opponents to master the unique sport of Geon: Emotions. What's your strategy going to be? Will you choose to spread fear among the other players, or unleash a wave of bliss over them with the aim of subverting their cause? Play to your emotional strengths. Allow your dark side to dominate, or win through speed, courage, and style. You can be the master of Geon, but you must learn to use your emotions to your advantage. Geon: Emotions is something different, a fast-paced abstract sports game that lets you explore your emotions as you compete against opponents. The razor sharp visuals are accompanied by a pulse-pounding soundtrack. Perfect your skills in a head-to-head duel or try the time attack to win medals and unlock mini-games. Then, go multiplayer on Xbox LIVE with up to four players and let it all hang out on the emotional battlefield. [Microsoft]

Team Xbox

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.

Console Monster

There are some fun power ups.

MS Xbox World

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.

IGN

Developer Strawdog Studios was clearly aiming for a game that is easy to pick up and play, but in the end made a game that is equally easy to simply walk away from.

Gaming Nexus

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.

Otherwise, expect to get bored rather quickly with collecting spilled spheres and waiting for floating cube-movers. [Dec 2007, p.66]

Eurogamer

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.

GameSpot

GEON is a simple puzzle game that's more generic than its title would lead you to believe.

Game Chronicles

Geon: Emotions is a pretty cute and easy to learn puzzle game on Xbox Live but nothing spectacular or addicting.

Games Radar (in-house)

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.

An attractive barfly that never really engages. [Dec 2007, p.108]

Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Innovative, pretty, interesting at first glance... but ultimately: boring, boring, boring. [Oct 2007, p.96]

X360 Magazine UK

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]
