Geometry Wars

I am hooked on this cheesy game... I have a bunch of regular titles for the 360, but lately all I seem to play is this game. I am alright on GW Retro (ranked around 1000) but on evolved I suck... On GW Evolved I am ranked around 28,000 and can't seem to go any higher. Is there some trick or something that I am missing on the evolved version???

i dunno about rank, but that game is hard... the highest i ever got to was like 280,000 and that took so long. the biggest tip i have is to focus on the player ship... try not to take your eyes off of it instead of letting your eyes wander and be distracted by all the pretty flying debris. that's what usually kills me, getting distracted by something and then running into something else.

although what do i know, i'm not that great at the game either. it sure is a blast though

600,000ish is my highest. I could only get like 30,000 at first but then I just kept playing it.

My trick is to only move when necessary. Moving your ship AND firing at the enemy can sometimes be too much to handle. But when you DO move, make sure the path ahead of you is cleared. Sorry, that's the only advice I can really give.

GW is pissing me off. I play about twice a week for 15 mins trying to get the last achievement (survive 1,000,000). My highest score is 1.5 million, but now whenever I die once I start over.

Once I hit over 100,000 points my tricks are too move around the out side of the map in a circle firing mostly in the direction I am moving. Take out he blackholes as quick as possible. Also, I hate the snakes so I try to shoot them as quick as possible. The reason you move around in a circle is because you can out run most objects. Every once in a while you have to shot around your ship to back off the green homing shapes and those red suicide ships can be anoying too.

My high score is 1.8 mil. The key is to go long stretches without dieing. If you don't make it to around 250,000 without dieing, a really high score is hard to achieve. That said, here are my techniques. Some people say concentrate on your ship. I don't, I concentrate on where I want to go. Shoot at where you want to go, until you get a really high scoer, your gun can always clear out a path faster than you can go (that applies for everything but gravity holes). If you get into trouble, the best bet is to jet it to the edge then go around the edge, shooting directly in front of you. I do that until I can clear out enough to get some breathing room. Another tip to high scores is balancing using bombs vs dieing. Once you get into the 6x multipler range, it's better to start using your bombs more liberally to keep your multipler going. On the other hand, if you get a really tough spawn, and have a low multipler, take your chances and try to fight through it.

thanks for the tips.... I guess the best tip is just to keep practicing. 1.8 mill is insane!! I can't even imagine the amount of crap on the screen at once at that level. When I first reached 490,000 I was sure my rank was going to be high, but hell no.....

Fun game, but i always hit a wall around 250,000. I haven't played in a while, maybe i should try again.

i dont know what the hell you guys are doing to get that high. My high is ~300,000

I've tried the whole running around in circles trying to clear my path but that doesnt seems to help as something always seems to catch up to me

wouldn't it be cool to have some different maps for this game? i mean, a single square box gets pretty boring after a while, this game would be so much more fun if you can advance levels that change and become more interesting
