Geometry Wars 3: Retro Evolved - I finally beat every level in this amazing game! I finally beat all the stages in Hardcore mode, the third single player mode. This mode doesn't give you a Drone ally, making things much tougher than the other two were. It's only a 20-level mode, versus 30 for the second mode and 50 for the original main one, but it's the hardest one for sure. And yeah, it was great fun. It's awesome to finally beat this game, I've been playing a lot of it all year. (Yes, this is one of my favorite 360 games for sure. The whole series is incredible, and the original is the best, but this one is fantastic too!)
You don't get anything for doing this, for whatever reason; there is no reward for beating all the levels in all three of the main single player campaigns, you just return to the menu after each one. What you do get is the satisfaction of knowing you've beaten all the levels in this game, though, and that is significant. There isn't even an Achievement for beating all of them, they're for other things. I have half of the achievements in this game now, and many of the remaining ones look pretty tough. I don't care that much, but I was wondering what they were...
Beyond just winning, I also set myself a goal of trying to get two stars on all of the levels. This game has a 3-star system for each stage, as is a modern trend, based on how well you did. So far I've gotten two stars on all levels except for the second to last level in Hardcore, and I will be back for sure to try to get two there. There is an Achievement for getting 3 stars on all levels in the game, but I doubt I can manage that one... but yeah, getting two on all of them's going to be nice, and I'm sure I can get that last one.
So the only question left is, will I keep playing this game regularly or not? It is really awesome and has lots of replay value thanks to the score tables for every stage, but I've beaten all the stages now...
