Geometry Wars IGN Hands On

Filed in archive Nintendo DS on June 29, 2007

2 years after it blazed through Microsoft's online service, Geometry Wars is coming soon to The Nintendo DS and Wii. It's bigger and better than ever. With additional levels and features such as the drone which can assist your ship, This is the best version yet of the XBL classic. Check out what IGN has to say with their hands on time with Geometry Wars for Nintendo's systems:

Of course, the Geometry Wars name - and indeed its gameplay - will be instantly recognisable to anyone who also has an Xbox 360. The game was originally released on Xbox Live Arcade in 2005 and quickly became the gun-toting poster child of Microsoft's downloadable game service, thanks to its simple-but-solid gameplay and the appeal of getting your high score on the global leaderboard. So, if you've played it on 360 you may think you've seen all Geometry Wars has to offer - but you'd be wrong. After shooting our way through the Wii and DS versions we're delighted to report it's more intense, challenging and destructive that even the most hardened Geo Wars nut could have asked for.
