Wii Games You May Have Missed: Geometry Wars Galaxies

Part 3. The purpose of this series of videos is to help spread the word on several Wii games which haven't sold too well. Also, since the Wii holiday lineup for 2008 isn't looking too swell, these could be potentially interesting games to check out for the shopping season, or simply games to check out in between larger releases.

The third game in this series is Geometry Wars: Galaxies, which came out in late 2007 in the Americas. Throughout the video, you will see the fun, arcade style of the game, and how hectic it can get on even the simpler levels.

Geometry Wars: Galaxies requires either the Wii Remote and Nunchuck or the Classic Controller to play (sorry, no Gamecube controller support), and can be found at most retailers for less than $15 used.

Sorry for a few audio and video issues in this part of the series. None of the audio dropouts occurred in the original video file, nor did the double repeat of the Wii Menu at the end. I'll blame Windows Movie Maker...

You neglected to mention that this came out on STEAM for PC.

[NintendoDSKid]

I believe that the version you are talking about is Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, which is an earlier, single-level game in the series. The Wii version, Galaxies, is its own, much more fleshed out game which also contains Retro Evolved.

how does the online scores work again? is it p2p or server based?

[NintendoDSKid]

Honestly, I'm not sure. From the limited information I know on the subject, I would say that it's probably server-based, though I could definitely be wrong.

Sorry that I can't really help you with that. If it relates to why you asked the question, I have never had to wait longer than 20 seconds to connect online and download the online scores (when my connection is slow); on average, it's probably around 10 seconds altogether.

[matthewdoucette]

glad to join... don't have a wii myself so it's nice to see reviews of games like this (trailers of games just don't cut it)

[NintendoDSKid]

Hey, thanks for the info on how that stuff works! Sorry that you had to answer your own question, though. :P

Also, thanks for viewing this video and subscribing to this channel! There are many more videos planned for the near future, so expect to see some more content really soon.

to clarify what i just wrote, in peer to peer you would not have to meet everyone online personally, your "tree" of friends you meet online would just have to be connected to everyone else's "tree" of friends, which would happen eventually and continually.

[matthewdoucette]

peer to peer would have everyone's scores saved on everyone's system, and it would spread out viral-like, eventually, to everyone's system as they each meet each other online. it must be server-based. i just thought i would ask because you mentioned the download time being long. nintendo (i'm not up to speed with the wii and how it works) must have server based online rankings just like the xbox does...

thanks!!
