Gather around kids, it's time for some new Geometry Wars video! Embedded above is the first gameplay footage of Bizarre Creations' latest Geometry Wars installment oh so interestingly named Geometry Wars: Waves. First and foremost you must know that Waves will only be available within' Project Gotham Racing 4 and will not see a separate XBLA release. Secondly, let's look at the gameplay footage since that's the point of this post. From what we see, it looks like Waves is pretty much based off of Retro Evolved (which we fully expected), but with the addition of new enemies and behaviors.
The video is rather short, but we get a glimpse at some new triangle enemies that shoot from one side of the map to the other, some double square looking shapes that just sit there and our old friends blue diamonds and green squares. We also noticed that the multiplier system has been tweaked over Retro Evolved allowing players to rack up a high score pretty quickly. Go ahead and give the video a watch to decide whether or not PGR 4 is worth purchasing just for this little beauty we call Geometry Wars: Waves.

(Page 1)2. As far as I can see, not a single achievment is tied to GW: Waves.
they should have just released this on the XBLA instead of using it as a selling point for PGR4.

3. i think this makes PGR4 a better deal, nicely done guys.
plus having this on XBLA like Xenocidic mentioned would have also been good.

4. xeno: I thought that they were releasing it on both platforms. If they're not, then that's a pretty stupid move.

7. Looks easy, far more predictable than the original Geo Wars.
Seems they've done away with lives, and possibly smart bombs too? Can't see this being more than a tiny, tiny destraction.

8. "First and foremost you must know that Waves will only be available within' Project Gotham Racing 4 and will not see a separate XBLA release."
I'll believe it when i see it.
Considering how well the original sold, it would be near on retarded not to sell this one as well.

9. I loved Evolved and I want this so much but I will NOT be buying PGR4 so it looks like they've lost my business (and I've lost out on hours of fun). Would pay up to 1000 points for this on XBLA (fritters money away).

10. hopefully they could at least have it show up in your XBLA menu when you pop the disc in rather than force you to boot up all the way into PGR4 before getting access to the game.
