Geometry Wars Reshapes The Past

Posted by Zonk on Thursday February 2, 2006 @04:47AM from the more-than-meets-the-eye dept.

Eurogamer has a piece looking at the sucess of Geometry Wars, despite its old-skool flavour. From the article: "Eyes around The Beehive widen and brows furrow in incredulity. I'm suddenly instructed to tell everyone at the table what I've just said to one half. I clear my throat. 'The worldwide high score for Geometry Wars is 12.8 million.' Nobody says anything. Everyone just thinks about it. 'Terrifying,' says someone, eventually. 'Mine's 2.1 million, which I originally thought was pretty good,' says Stephen Cakebread, creator of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved and its predecessor, 'but I've since been put to shame by all the people who've scored five times that!' Well, six times, but we're not counting. It's too painful."

Eurogamer has a piece looking at the sucess of Geometry Wars, despite its old-skool flavour.

The game hasn't been released yet. How can it be successful?

In the mean time, Mutant Storm is already available - plus it has eight difficulty levels along with two-player support.
