5.0 out of 5 stars Better than you would expect!, December 29, 2007

This review is from: Geometry Wars: Galaxies (Video Game)

If someone told me I would be sitting for like 3 hours straight, not noticing the time pass, shooting little flying geometric shapes into oblivion, I should have been likely to scoff that them sir, but no, I would have been wrong!

From the aspiring to the seasoned shootist to any variety of space explosion enthusiasts this is a title for the ages.
Blow up a wide variety of ships and creatures each with different behavioral patterns, collect "geoms" from the wreckage to up grade your blasters, gain lives and bombs, and multiply you score in combat, and use these game "geoms" out of battle to unlock new systems and planets. Your ship also comes supplied with an orbital sidekick that can be set to any number of behaviors such as attack, or ram, or sniper, and as you use the behaviors they levels up and becomes more effective. And trust me, you'll need them!
Over 60 levels that somehow manage to keep challenging you all the while not getting stale. Each new "planet" is a new experience.
And if thats not enough Reto evolved the game that started it all is packaged in the bundle as well! And don't forget the online leader board! Are you the best of the best?

The only flaw is that the game can suffer from some slow down when the combat gets hectic, but this often is a god send giving you time to think in situations that otherwise would be pure frantic reaction.

Pick it up. Well worth the price for any shooter fan.

DISCLAIMER: Any math you happen to lean by playing is purely incidental.

2.0 out of 5 stars If you are left handed, this is not a good choice, January 21, 2009

Really for right-handed folks only. This game has a fairly unique control method on the DS so that if you are left-handed you will have a difficult time with it. Just a fair warning before you buy. There is a left-handed mode to choose, but I found it virtually impossible to play the game.

This review is from: Geometry Wars: Galaxies (Video Game)

This is a great addition to my growing DS library and fills a unique niche. I enjoy the fact that each planet's fight can range from a few seconds to minutes. When I only have time to play a little DS, this game is perfect. However, it also has great depth and can hold my attention for long stretches. It is a game that has great staying-power but can also be satisfying small doses. I'm sure I will be entertained for a long time - great buy!
