Geometry Wars PC!

[A Black Falcon]

50,000, EM? I played it last November in a demo station and managed a bit over 100,000 in half an hour of play... I am good at Llamatron, though, and this is similar (dual-stick style shooter).

I was able to play Geometry Wars for the X360 last week, actually (there was a Microsoft X360 "campus tour" event or whatever, with consoles to play)... I played it for about half an hour and managed a best score of 115,000. Which was more than twice the previous high score on the system, 53,000... not sure if that was the only system with the game on it though, but I think it was.

I felt like with a bit more practice I could have done a lot better than that... I'm pretty good at Robotron-style games. :)

Anyway, while I wish I could say otherwise, I suspect that once I get a Wii and have money for VC games I will buy some of them, including some I already own... I know I won't be able to resist, despite how strongly I dislike the CC controller for Genesis and N64 games and how badly I think they failed the design of the CC controller...

Anyway, I haven't yet but I'll buy this for sure. I mean, $2.50? No question.

Different as in they have a lot of stuff added to them ABF, not removed. It'll have a campaign mode, for example. I expect the PSP version at least will have identical graphics. The DS might have to downplay it a bit (if Puzzle Quest on DS vs the PSP version is any indication as to the limits of the DS's 2D abilities).

Right. I'd say that the DS/Wii versions sound almost like completely different games...
