After just playing I can say that this game needs a little getting used to. At first the graphics appear very homebrew like, but once you see tons of enemies on the screen you start to like the graphics. The controls are much easier than the 360 version, and I can do better with them. They have a few new songs that sound pretty cool, and isn't just the same song repeating like in the 360 game. It's a good game kiddies.

w00t! I have the Wi-Fi #1 high score! It'll probably just last a few seconds until more people connect though.

Just as I thought.....no warping background makes for a somewhat less exciting game. But it does seem easier that way and is still a great game.

I like how you can use either the stylus OR the buttons to fire. I prefer the buttons myself, it's just easier for me that way.

It has already earned a permanent spot on my R4. Hand cramps and sore thumbs are sure to be the new order of the day with this one.

It kind of surprised me that the ROM is 64megs (51.2megs trimmed) when you consider there is no actual textures in the game. I figured it would be 32megs or less.

I deem this a "happy game" for sure.

There's a freeware PC clone of Geometry Wars called Echoes.

It's very good!

Even better you can get Geometary wars on the PC anyway. It is supposed to only run on vista, but its been hacked to work on XP ( which I play it on ) and I can use my Xbox360 controller on my PC to play it.... hang on I have geometary wars on the XBOX, the PC and now the DS, does that mean I have a Geometary Set now

You need a compass ... preferably a golden one.
 
Gamespot didnt do a good review, they say there is no single cart multiplayer, yet my friend and i just played using my cart and we played co-op.

The other options were survivalish mode and vs.
