Geometry Wars

[David]

Anyone else play this? i love this game although i do get the feeling i'm alone on this one!

 

[Graham Gooch]

Me, and try as I might I can never beat Lees score lol.

 

[David]

which is what?!! i hit 300,00 or so the other night...

 

[Graham Gooch]

300,000 ah ok your better then lol.

I can only manage around 160,000 odd

 

[b3nje]

link?

 

[David]

mate it's totally solid, ahrd, but there are people on xbox forums with the 1,000,000 without dying achievment! seriously god knows how they do it, to get 300,000 was stupidly hard and to be honest was dead dead fluky. i got a lot of experience playing mutant storm reloaded which is another one on live which is basically the same, arguably better. whats your topscore then?

B3NJE: it's on xbox live arcade... http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/g/geometrywarsevolvedlivearcadexbox360/details.page/

Great game.

I'm crap at it though, most the office have better scores than me.

I know something about the future of GW that I'd love to post, but I'd get the sack.

 

[David]

for whoever is interested...top score islike 330,000,000....totally stupid.

pm?

The fact you said your crap makes me lol!

 

[Lee]

I'll have a look what everyone else is on when I logon tonight. I know I'm mid table as far as scores go here.

 

[Woodentop]

500,000 top score on mine, try not shooting at the start for 60 seconds that is always good fun.

 

[David]

500000 thats awesome score, apparently once you get the high multipliers, the difference between 500000 and 1million is like a couple of minutes or so...

 

[Graham Gooch]

Yeah it took me ages to get the 'pacifier' reward.

Christ my 160k is lame-o lol.

 

[David]

aah just hit 600k, thumbs hurt so bad!

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Quality game, I have had just over 2 mill.

 

[David]

2million! thats well impressive, you should have all the achievements for it then?...

Just watching that vid (and bearing in mind I know nothing about the game) the knack seems to be random turns counter-clockwise and firing slightly more inward of the 'turn' you're making. That way, making a clear path for you throughout the turn.

I'm sure its massively more difficult than that though!

D.

 

[David]

you can believe it, the amount of skil you need to tihnk like that and move correctlyu at the same time given all the other stuff you need to pay attention to is nuts, love it though.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

2million! thats well impressive, you should have all the achievements for it then?...

I can do better, haven't got the survived 1000000 though. I have got to 950,000 before dying before. I nearly cried.

 

[*JimmyJ*]

why aint this on the PS3 (yet)

 

[kneebs76]

Mines about 860K. That videos amazing!

 

[Rhino172]

it's those poxy green ones that get me...lol! only got this a couple of days ago...best score is about 190000 ish I think...

 

[David]

not bad, wait till you meet the red ones!

 

[Rhino172]

those the ones that kinda seem to home in on ya?

 

[Rhino172]

247,000 ! I'm getting better...

 

[David]

Yeah thats the red ones...can't shoot directly at them either.

its weird i play as hard as i can and don't understand how i'm improving as i'm playing the same but you just do, genius game!

 

[Lee]

I was playing this yesterday.....but not on the 360.

http://buttonbasher.wordpress.com/2007/05/21/geometry-wars-galaxies-for-wii-and-ds/

Both versions are really impressive and sales are projected to be good. I can understand that having played them both.

 

[David]

Barsteward! Bet its rock hard on the wii

 

[Lee]

It's not easy, and as it's only the first milestone there's a lot of tweaking to do, but it's looking pretty dam special so far.

I actually really liked the DS version!

 

[Rhino172]

Yeah thats the red ones...can't shoot directly at them either.

its weird i play as hard as i can and don't understand how i'm improving as i'm playing the same but you just do, genius game!

lol know exactly what mean....although sometimes you just have a totaly crap time and die at something rubbish like 20000

 

[David]

Actually i bet the ds version is fantastic...but again hard... Kind of suits the 360 controller...
