This game is VERY addictive-BE WARNED!!!!About as simple an idea as it gets-shoot as much as you can and stay alive as long as you can.This is the kind of game that the DSi was made for. If you're the sort of person who just likes to switch on and start blasting then this is the game for you. But, by the same token, there is depth to the game as well.You start off with a basic gunship that has several different weapons to choose from. As you progress through the game and tackle harder levels, the weapons gain power and speed helping you achieve the kind of scores you need to unlock other systems in the Geometry Wars Universe. One of the tricks of the game is working out which weapons work better in certain situations.

This game is absolutely brilliant - perfect for the DS.It is a very old-school shoot-em-up of the highest order, similar to Smash TV and Robotron. The action is fact-paced and frenetic. The gameplay is simple - survive for as long as you can by defeating wave after wave of geometrical shapes. If that sounds boring then think again. Simple vector shapes have been used to allow the DS to get as many enemies on screen at once. This means that you get some epic shoot outs as the screen fills up in a psychedelic explosion of colour and action.There are loads of levels and extras to unlock which add to the longevity, but this is basically just pure action at its simple best.

A retro two-dimensional format may not seemingly appeal to all "shoot-em-up" game users, but there is something addictive about this game.The premise is extremely simple-a vector-mathematics (Geometry) shoot-em-up (Wars - geometrically-shaped aliens keep coming), and in theory one can complete this game reasonably quickly, but certain levels are worthy of revisiting, and these will change from person to person. A given level could continue forever, but inevitably one dies, but with so many near misses and playing strategically, any one level can last for 5-10 minutes with a suitable excited/fraught sensation to be experienced along the way.

For me, this game is the ultimate retro old school shoot em up made in heaven, it is intensely satisfying to play and is insanely addictive. Like Asteroids, Tempest and Robotron, but ten times better than both put together, there is also a massive amount of different levels and high scores to achieve, along with a retro revival mode. If you liked playing Tempest/Robotron/Asteroids/Defender/Space Invaders at the arcades, then buy this game now. Top game.

If ever there was a perfect pick up and play title, this is it.If I only have a few minutes to play with my DS, this game is my choice at the moment.This game is also available for the Wii, and content can be downloaded.I have not done this yet, and I would be interested to know what content is available.The music, the visuals, the upgrades, and the difficulty curve all make it a pleasure to play.Boy, do I love old school blasters.

If you like 'old school' shooters then you'll like this. It reminds me of Robotron and Asteroids.The standout feature for me is the use of the stylus to shoot with. You just touch the stylus on the bottom screen and the ship fires. The stylus controls direction of fire and the D pad controls the movement of the ship (this can be changed in the options menu).Simple and beautiful.

Excellent pick up & play old skool shooting game. The only problems I have with it is the soundtrack is pretty bad but stick your i-pod on & turn the sound up & your soon be sucked into this addictive little shoot em up.

Great fun in little doses. Would be great for longer but the controls on the DS give me hand cramp after a while and a break is needed. But the aiming with the stylus is well done and quite accurate.
