GEOMETRY WARS

Two additional modes support up to four players, though more participants doesn’t necessarily increase the entertainment value. Co-op stages soon descend into absurdity – despite some comic highlights, these tend to pall rather quickly. Three competitive options are more worthwhile: the basketball and air hockey variants might be scrappy, but one quick game soon becomes five. And frantic deathmatches in Dojo mode – where you snip your rivals to nothing – are shallow, sure, but moreish.
