Grid Wars2, developed by Mark Incitti, is a PC adaptation of the Xbox 360's Geometry Wars, featuring new controls for players without a dual analog Joypad. It offers comparable gameplay with fewer special effects to the original game.
In terms of gameplay, Grid Wars2 offers the same intense arcade-style action that the original Geometry Wars is known for. Players control a small, neon-colored ship through a series of increasingly difficult levels filled with swarms of enemy shapes. The objective is to survive as long as possible while racking up as high a score as possible.
One of the most appealing aspects of Grid Wars2 is its simplicity. The game is easy to pick up and play, even for those who have never played Geometry Wars before. The controls are intuitive and responsive, which is crucial for a game that requires quick reflexes and precision aiming.
In terms of graphics, Grid Wars2 may not be as flashy as its console counterpart, but it still looks great. The neon colors and geometric shapes are vibrant and visually stimulating, without overwhelming the player with too many effects. The game runs smoothly on most systems, even older machines, making it an excellent choice for gamers who may not have the latest hardware.
Overall, Grid Wars2 is an excellent game that is sure to please fans of the original Geometry Wars as well as newcomers to the series. With its new controls and accessible gameplay, this PC version is a great way to experience the classic arcade-style action of Geometry Wars.
