GameSpot review by Tom Mc Shea - 9.0 / 10

GamePro Arcade review by Ian Guss - Fun Factor: 4.5 / 5

IGN review by Hilary Goldstein - 8.3 / 10

What more can really be said at this point? Geometry Wars 2 expands on the formula of the original and makes it even better. The modes available are all a ton of fun with people finding themselves addicted to modes they thought wouldn't be much fun - like Pacifism or King.

It's been worth all 800 Microsoft Points for it. Just make sure you have people in your friends list who are also fully into GW2, it makes the experience worth it.

Comments

Clearly we can't trust Hilary Goldstein's reviews. 8.3 is at least 1 point to low.
