Geometry Wars: Galaxies is a fast pace shooting game for the wii.  Not only does the game become crazily addictive, it can also lasts for hours in just one gaming sessions (so much regret in trying to do that…).

Anyways as a multiplayer shooter game what would you expect in this game?  Geometry Wars: Galaxies does have a multiplayer mode, with 3 different options for you and your friends to play in.

Save planets from destructions from enemy shapes.  Although the story isn’t there you’re basically destroying the enemies for geoms.

With the geoms you can buy new drones, planets, and solar system to play in!

Pro:	Games can last for hours Multiple, colorful enemies to fight Playing is very fast paced and intense, especially in multiplayer mode
Con:	You can easily get lost in all of the action No Nintendo WFC multiplayer (there is a score board)

Geometry Wars: Galaxies Gameplay

Control

Now playing the game isn’t hard at all.  You basically control your spaceship as you fly inside maps with the analog stick.  You aim with the wiimote and press A or B to shoot.  You can use a smart bomb to clear the map by pressing C or Z.

Gameplay

In only galaxy mode you kill enemies, and they’ll drop these gold shiny things, which are geoms.  Pick them up and they’ll multiplayer the score you get for killing enemies.  It may not be much at first, but it does add up.  When you die the multiplier restarts.

In the 1 player galaxy mode you get to buy drones (a mini NPC ship) that does specific tasks.  You get to choose which drone you want to buy.  Each drone has its own special ability.

Geometry Wars: Galaxies Multiplayer War

Now we’re onto the chaos.  The game can lasts for days if you want it to, and all you have to do is survive and not die.  You get relief sometimes with the aid of extra lives and bombs, but that’s about it.

This multiplayer wii game is 2-player only so don’t expect 4 times the chaos.

There is Nintendo WFC, but like I mentioned earlier it’s a score board where you can put your score on.

There are three modes in the multiplayer mode.

Vs Mode

In this mode you play against a friend.  No you can’t attack them, bump them, or any other type of in-game interference.  However if you want to you could distract them, while you play…

No, what you do in this mode is simply annihilate more enemies and get more points then your friends.  The game is over when you both die.

Co-Op Mode

Unlike the previous mode you don’t try to get the most points.  In this mode you two work together to try and survive the onslaught of millions of enemy hoards coming at you.  Things become crazy.

Galaxy Mode

Just like the 1-player mode you can travel around solar systems saving planets.  The catch is that you don’t get drones, but you can think that your friend is your drone!   You have double the lives and bombs (6 each) for each solar system.

Conclusion

If you want a colorful shooting game where you’ll be addictive to and play as the one person being in a severally out numbered situation, this game is for you.  Not only can you play with friends in multiplayer mode it’ll be double the risk, because sharing lives is not always fun!
