While Sony really dropped the ball when it comes to PSN demos, I do appreciate that they have demos before the game comes out.  360 should do that.  I want to try the demo now.

It comes out on Wednesday. It plays like Geo Wars. Go try Geo Wars.

XBLA demos are the full games with content locked out. That's why they are so large and when you decide to buy you don't have to quit and download something else.

I have Geo Wars and that Geo Wars waves game in PGR4 and Geo Wars Galaxy on Wii.  I know what it is like, but I am saying in general.

Yeah, but not all demos are like that.  I remember the Penny-arcade one locked you out from some options before you got to play.

Looks eerily similar to another game called Geometry Wars.

Watch some high-level play videos and look how they maneuver around and strategies they use for some of the different spawn patterns.

Got one?

[Tieno]

Here's one. Just look on youtube, but some of them are really high-play and thus are situations you're not experiencing at 200k.
A good dexterity exercise is to try and to get the pacifism achievement.
Another exercise is to try and kill enemies, not moving your ship at all.
Also sometimes try to do runs where you don't use bombs at all.
Work on independent stick control: shooting in one direction and moving in the other.
Wiggle your ship a bit
Use uptempo music, with a strong and fast beat

Here's a beginner tips and techniques video

id play it more if I didnt see all those awesome gamers online who have slapped GeoWars in the face and fucked it in the ass. There's no way im getting those scores...ever. It's kinda discouraging sometimes.

My friends are the ones that did it. I blame Hyp and his crew of winners.

As long as you survive a million, you can be cool regardless of score

[MrAngryFace]

I have a decent score iirc...I mean for a casual scrub

[MrAngryFace]

I spose at least I have one of the best DW Gundam games going haha

my 4.4mil?  is pretty weak now when i look on the leaderboards.  it was kinda cool when i was in the top 50 --- which was like a week after launch.   

but i agree with the demster.  surviving 1 mil is like a fucking orgasm.  bring on geo 2.  i'm so rusty  :'(  i don't expect to do very well on the boards.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I could never get into the game. I wish I could.

[JustinP]

does geometry wars 2 have a lot of new singleplayer content too? or is it more like the SSHD team pack?

[demi]

It has new game modes, and stuff from Galaxies and Waves

New enemies, new spawn patterns, new/changed enemy behaviors and changed enemies graphics, geoms, gates, reworked weapon, 1080p, upgraded graphics and effects, changed scoring system, ramps up faster and games take shorter time, local co-op, new modes...
