My view on the sequel to the best launch title of 360
However, now that they have a sequel out, how does it match up to MR HARSH CRITIC (me)? As you can see I gave this game an 8.5. Where it lacks is in the fact that leaderboard people have found a way to cheat, which ruins it for the average player that wants to see how they rank, but as we all know that is true for just about any game with leaderboards. For an example, just look @ Rock Band. Those people that can beat drums on expert, use the controller to hit the buttons, which doesnt prove your drumming skill at all.
Anyways back to this game. In GeoWars2, Activision added some nice features. I don't remember the names of all the games, but along with the normal 3 lives + bonuses as seen in the first GEOWARS there is a timed version, a gate/bomb version where you cant shoot, a version where youc an only shoot in bubbles that go away after time, "Waves" which has waves of arrows that only go in certain directions and a 25 level challenge.
Each one of them are perfectly added to the series so it feels like you get a completely new game and not just an upgrade. Bizzare Creations did a fantastic job of coming up with the games and the different achievements to go along with them.
You'll find countless hours of frustratingly fun activity in this game and if you like TEMPEST style games, or just challenges in general, you'd be crazy not to have this in your library. It's replay value is limitless and thats a very important feature to me!
