Versions of Geometry Wars

As a first “official” post to my blog, I’d like to discuss the different versions of Geometry Wars that have been created over the years. There’s a couple.

1. The very first version of Geometry Wars was included as a mini game to the game: Project Gotham Racing 2. Compared to the Current “Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved“, it is very primative.

2. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, is the current version of Geometry Wars. It is exclusive to the Xbox 360, and is available on the Xbox Live Marketplace for 400 points. It features “next-gen” features such as surround sound and is playable in High Definition. It includes 2 games – the original “retro” version, and the “evolved” edition which features next gen graphics and gamplay. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved has won an award for the most downloaded Xbox Live Arcade Game.

3. Geometry Wars: Waves is the new version of Geometry Wars that will be included with Project Gotham Racing 4. It is an exclusive mini-game for Project Gotham and will not be released on Xbox Live. It is not considered a sequal, but a stand-alone mini game .

4. Last is Geometry Wars: Galaxies. This game will be released on November 13 for the Nintendo Wii and November 27 on the Nintendo DS. Geometry Wars Galaxies will use both systems unique controls to create a new experience for Geometry Wars Fans. This is Bizzare Creation’s first attemp to make Geometry Wars a “Hard Copy” game. In other words it’s not a download or a mini game – but a stand-alone game you can buy in stores. Unlike other Geometry Wars Games, Geometry Wars: Galaxies will have a “story line” and objectives to complete. The story is you need to save the galaxy from the “evil shapes”. You go from solar system to solar system liberating each planet – which then unlocks more solar systems to save. Geometry Wars: Galaxies will also include tons of new enemies, upgrades for your drone, and “battlefields” – yes, you now have to fly though obstacles and maps, instead of that boring “rectangular” battlefield.
