1) Put the trial in your download queue now, so it will start downloading the MOMENT you get home. Trust me.
2) If in our time prattling here you've grown to even slightly trust my opinion. Or even just occasionally think I judge a game fairly then don't read on in the thread and just play it asap. Then read the help in the game. Then play again. Then post. Oh and you can fly through white things.
This is because going in blind is best.
3) It's a community game but I'm not putting this in the Community games thread, because community games as a concept are kinda dead to people, so I know that the people who NEED to check it out won't if I put it in there.
4) I played the game once, and then bought it. Despite my huge dislike of the Community Games ToS (can only play when on-line). It's only 200 points (£1.70). This is noteworthy.
5) It's Geometry Wars. Except much, much uglier. And has less content. And will grow older quicker.
6) But it is ugly because it isn't about the visuals. It is about the
sound. Another synesthesia game if you are getting arsey. Every bullet you fire and enemy you hit plays a note or sample. Killing makes a song. The aim is to get to the end of the song. Every thing you shoot has a color, each color a different sample. Once you shoot it, it turns white and is queued to 'go' at the next beat.
7) About two minutes into the game a smile came across my face like it did when I played the first Rhythm Tengoku remix. It all just clicked in a lovely, lovely way.
8) I noticed LewieP mention it in a thread over on Penny Arcade and so you should thank him, not me.
9) Seriously, everyone on BeeX who bought Geo Wars and/or everyone who has played Rez owe it to themselves to give it a go.
10) It's a cheap, ropey, low production values game on Xbox 360. But it is exactly what cheap ropey low production value games on Xbox Live should be.
