CGR Undertow - GEOMETRY WARS GALAXIES for Nintendo Wii Video Game Review

[bland9876]

I have this on my wii and ds

[Awesom3Gamer]

1:48 Spinal Tap reference :3

[morphius44]

should i buy this game? i use my wii alot just i dont know if id get bored of it quickly?

[bluesy92]

I've played the mini-game in PGR, Retro Evolved, Retro Evolved 2, and Grid Wars (the clone)

Galaxies is by far the most replayable Geometry Wars yet.

[miknotti]

wow...great job of describing the game.

[DeltaPhi79]

I got the game yesterday after seeing this review the day before..... I've already played it for 5 hours. XD

[SlasherMiniFilms]

I just bought this! it's AMAZING!

[DeHomunculus]

i grew sick of playing it.. and i still can't put it down! i bought a second classic controller just for this game! i'm telling you, i have a wii and a ps3, and when it comes to awesome, original games, wii seems to be a gathering point.

[DeltaPhi79]

@DeHomunculus Probably why some people hate it. People seem to hate anything that's not similar to everything they've played before. (Some of them. Not all.)

[DeHomunculus]

@DeltaPhi79 if that's the case... then why do so many buy playstation move and xbox kinect? i don't get it. both consoles are overrun by cheap, bad cash-ins using these 'new' controls... and no one seems to complain about that...

[dentidiot]

i got the dsversion for £5 the best buy ever!

[orel1996]

Whaat? It looks awesomer just because of the pointer controls (I haven't played this yet, but I love pointer control o.o)

[Harijukulover]

My gosh this game doesn't get enough love! I got mine for like 10$.

Best 10$ i have ever spent on a game. :D :D :D XD

[DeHomunculus]

@Harijukulover i bought it when it first came out, for the full fourty, and i never had a single regret!

[hckia]

ok your video answered the multi-player question -_- Just needed to let it finish!

[hckia]

So i'm sold on BUYING the game, but should I purchase it for the Wii or DS? Can you play multiplayer on both?

[glitchz1]

This is a great game. Happy I picked it up

[kyonmanaka]

I love Geometry Wars Retro Evolved, now I will surely get Galaxies for DSi

[bonggzilla]

i rather play it on xbox 360 because of the robotron style of handling i think you need two sticks to handle the game right!!!!!! the wii pointer style of gameplay is quite good but.... ya never get that good with the highscore!!!!!!!!

[CGRDerek]

@bonggzilla You can play Galaxies on Wii with the Classic Controller, which does have two thumbsticks. Just a heads up.

[TheOverlordPlayer]

Is this the new space gar?

[fpspapasito]

"resurrects some of high school's most vivid memories, math class and the arcades", dude, you are still in high school, your voice is so screechy.

[Ironscimitar]

39 dollars!? Jeez...

[xcoolymanx]

why you review only games for the wii and DS?

[GamerBoy53]

@xcoolymanx He doesn't.

[15zelda1]

I got this game for 5$ at Blockbuster!

[YouKnowItzTTime81]

@15zelda1 really?

[15zelda1]

@YouKnowItzTTime81 Yeah! It was like a super sale or something... It was worth it!!!

[EricDaNerd]

I absolutely love your nerdy review style. Thanks for bringing this game to my attention. Looks like just the the thing to keep my classic controller busy between long sessions of Gradius Rebirth.

[KyleReidzilla]

Vectrex port coming soon.

[iPokemaestro]

The graphics in this game look so awesome!

[pk3r72owns]

how can the video be in 1080p if the wii is only SD ? im sure it can be upscaled but its just a waste of bandwidth

[viet411]

I played Geometry Wars at my near by game store, ever since then I've been wanting to buy that game for so long.

[mutzmax1]

space duel and asteroids? its more like a bright version of tempest put onto a 2-D board.

[someonefromsomewere1]

You are certainly getting better at reviewing games.

[PUTSAS]

awsome review, the best version of galaxy wars !!!

[thedoctorsassistant1]

classic game room has review it befor you

[thefuryofblood]

This game was amazing on the DS, untill my save file got deleted and i was to lazy to get all the way ot the last planets again.

[dbz1229]

This looks like a fun, addicting game. Anyone know if there is there a version of Geometry Wars on DS?

[niah146]

will this come out on the vectrex! cause the vectrex is awsome =)

[Voliko1]

can this game be controlled with a G-cube controller?

[BlooMassacre]

@Voliko1 Sadly, no.

I wish it did though, because this game's a pain to control with wiimote/nunchuk, and I don't have a classic controller.

[catclaw357]

I like the XBLA version better

[SharpeyCol]

I'd advise you to try to make the reviews a bit more spontaneous or less obvious that you're reading from a script, otherwise it looks too much like a IGN or other generic site reviews and becomes boring. I think you're a more intellectual version of Mark, who has too much of a unique and charming style that you shouldnt try to replicate, but at the same time you need to make these reviews more dynamic and distinctive, IMO. You probably wont read this but I had a few minutes to spare, Im 42nd!

[leoviper]

Will it coming to Vectrex 2?

[ProblmSolvd]

@leoviper or better yet the vectrex >.>

[bleachzeldakid]

@leoviper i was gonna say that...

[ioport]

@leoviper Ha! This is indeed as close as you're going to get to the Vectrex on a modern console

[TheRagingBlast]

This game works well with the Wii Zapper if you want to know. It works extremely well.

[ptwob]

this is for wii now, good thing im getting one

[sinbysin666]

CRANK IT TO ELEVEN!!!

[hrmarinkovic]

VECTREX FTW

[fossil98]

God damnit

The wii doesn't have dual thumbsticks

What were they thinking when making it for the wii?

[Cryroth]

@fossil98 neither does the computer so your point is?

[MAGAIVER]

@fossil98 Wii's classic controller does have dual thumb stick and if the Gamecube controller is supported it also has dual thumb sticks. Besides that, the DS version plays just without a single thumb stick.

[DaBomb1]

@fossil98 You can use the classic controller, which is great for this game.

[17R3W]

@fossil98

1) The classic controller, and the GameCube controller have dual analog thumbs stick.

2) the Wii mote in of it's self simulates an analog controller. Arguably it's faster and more responsive then a traditional stick.

[mifster83]

This has been up for the worst game of the year award

[Cryroth]

@mifster83 actually a fun game if u think "out of the box"

[mifster83]

@Cryroth Out of the box like going back to the arcade games from the 80's?

[Mar093]

Now this looks like its built for VECTREX

[Trevguy00]

You've gotten a lot better at reviewing, love this one! Keep it up!

[5k4k1dhtp]

This would be so good on the vectrex

[FrosChannel]

Also on Steam.

[VoidKeeper]

@FrosChannel mope, only retro evolved is on steam, Galaxies isnt

[Arctic3sword]

You should review custom robo for gamecube

[hesteaeble]

Review the game for the DS! It is dirt cheap and seams fucking great!

[Lukaz1989]

there is also a iPad version.. "Geometry Wars: Touch"

[TheNatedogg56]

Great review! I'm def going to go out and pick this one up.

[shadowtsunami]

dude wheres the other girl who reviews XD

[CartoonTeakettle]

Seems like a fun game. Might get it.

[NinjaNidoking]

just order it of amazon for £6

[Victus6]

One of the best titles on the Wii.

[MrTURBOJOHN]

@Victus6 you are so silly...

[thebaggedavenger]

I'm still gonna have to prefer the xbox version. The colors are what draws to me the game. It's just a visual masterpiece.

[yurishosan]

it's at the visual and gaming level of a frickin flash game... why would I pay for a flash game if I can find one for free???

[LordOfJoy]

Love that game! All my drones are maxed out now and I have all planets. still can't let it go ;)

[Robertskull9]

there's geometry wars for the wii?! :DDD woot WOOT!

[Gabumon54321]

Ooh. I love Geometry Wars. :)

[RaizenOP]

fourth n.n

[Zephanus]

Good enough. Not interested in the game though.

Third?

[theras18]

gz, nice review

[wightknight121]

first w00t

[MaikisOnline]

@wightknight121 n00b

[Gabumon54321]

@MaikisOnline Eh, he's just a kid. Don't be too hard on him. ;)

[supsification]

@wightknight121 Idiot.

[17R3W]

He was first! It only bothers me when they post first when they are not.

I know America's are dumb, but at least learn how to count to one!

[RiotArtSquad]

@17R3W "Americans" actually and if you want to be an asshole and generalize people's intelligence due to their nationality, at least learn how to write first.

[17R3W]

@RiotArtSquad

Right right... 'Mericans are dumb.

[dajam9035]

@17R3W "america's? and were the dumb ones right! and people saying first are all not just amercans the're mostly stupid kids from all over not just america

[17R3W]

@dajam9035

If you'll read my original post, you'll notice I have no problem with people writing First!.

My issue is when you are not first, and you still put first.

Learn how to count past one morans!

[Lim3Knight]

@17R3W

*Morons. And what about YOU read HIS post? He didn't mention any specific order, so still, those people might as well be from YOUR country. OR mine, or his. Doesn't matter, could have been anywhere.

[17R3W]

@Lim3Knight

1st) Google the word "Moran" before you ASSUME I'm wrong.

2) He said First. He was First. That's fine by me. I gave him a thumbs up.

3) They may well be. I was joking around.

[Lim3Knight]

@17R3W Yes, I know what the difference it. I just did not see any reason not to provoke. And you're stil not making sense. Also, congratulations on leaving a discussion by saying you were joking. A good excuse, indeed.

[Lim3Knight]

@Lim3Knight is*

[dajam9035]

@17R3W yes i read your post i know what you wrote "i have no problem with people saying first if the're really first" thats not the reason why i reply to your comment its about the "americans are dumb" part and how you just assume the're from america

[17R3W]

@dajam9035

I'll tell you what. I subscribe to CGR Undertow and I comment on most every video. Next video posted where someone who isn't first claims to be first, I will check to see which country they are from.

If he isn't an American I will say the following things

1) To bad people from country X can't count past 1

2) @dajam9035 was correct, and my apologies for disparaging the wrong country.

And if he is an American, you don't have to do anything. Deal?
