Geometry Wars Wii Looks Promising

Have any of you guys read about Geometry Wars Wii on IGN yet?

Looks pretty promising: 60 levels, many which somehow tip their hat to games like River Raid and Asteroids(!), off line co-op, online leaderboards, and IR and classic controller mode. And a little bonus: You can use your Wii to download the original Xbox Live game to your DS (though there is a more robust DS version of the game coming).

GW was okay on 360. I found it a bit hard but I never was that great at Asteroids in the arcades, preferred Space Duel. Yep I am that old to have played them when they first game out!
I wonder if they are going to put out Project Gotham Racing with those photo realistic graphics on the Wii or the DS

. After the need for speed underground on the DS i hope not. Also I saw need for speed carbon on wii and was amazed at how much better the 360 looked. Though I am not able to tilt the controller and move my own screen car. Perhaps I should get a steering wheel but then I remember when I had one for my ps. It felt so cool to be playing v rally with it but I always came in last.
Perhaps I should play cooking mama... no I will just go and make the breakfast!

Yes, Geometry Wars does look promising until it comes out and suddenly this game that was a $6.00 download on Live Arcade is now a $50 game at your local Wal Mart!

Rob,
Geo wars is basically space duel updated. The makers of GW are the makers of PGR. So I wondered if they were going to translate that title as well. Then I had a wee rant about the Wii's control system. After which I thought I have a dig at Need for speed Carbon. Just generally having pop at Wii in a sort of commodore versus Atari way....

Except that the game is going to have 60 unique levels (as opposed to the $6 game which had one) co-op play, and other features, plus the ability to download the original game on your DS from the Wii.

It had still better not be $50. That is a joke, no joke.

Yeah, I'll have no problem plopping 50 bucks down for this game. I can't wait for it to come out. I've never played the original, but it looks like the kind of game that would be right up my alley. I think it's great that you'll have the option to use the classic controller.
