![]() The selection of ‘Classic’ modes are all taken from Geometry Wars 2 and include the following ĭeadline: the standard Geometry Wars experience set against a tight time limit. This is fundamentally a problem as the game doesn’t feel any flashier than Geometry Wars 2 but those graphics do very slightly get in the way at times. Warping the play areas and using various visual effects on the backdrops is all well and good but it doesn’t exactly aid the playability. The visuals however can occasionally get a bit much.
