Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved is fun and the price is great - but twin-stick shmups have evolved since this game came out. Pun intended.

Seriously, if you are an indie game fan, get Gran Vitreus or a number of other titles instead. They took the Geometry Wars formula and ran with it! Things are better now - there are perma-upgrades and level succession and leveling up and choices and all kinds of stuff that just makes it better overall.

Once again, does Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved deserve a spot in any twin-stick shmup fan's library? Sure. Is it dated? Sure.
