The most addicting game for DS January 4, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I played the original Geometry Wars at my friend's for the 360 when it first came out and I thought it was a very original game. Galaxies takes it to the next level by including an drone with many power ups, new enemies, online play, and of course the original retro evolved in a single package. This is a game that is easy to learn and difficult to master, and will keep you entertained for hours.
Better than you would expect! December 29, 2007

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.
Very impressed with this game December 9, 2007

At first I thought I had wasted 30 bucks, but then I changed the controls to allow the stylus to move the ship and the d pad to fire. It took getting used to, but the game became addicting. It even includes a full version of evolved. Very highly recommend.
