Geometry Wars 2 will, unfortunately, not be made available this week as previously speculated. The game has been announced at the Microsoft Press Conference, however, and will be made available next month. Other than that, we know very little about the game and how it differs from the original.
I hope they have some kind of continue thing implemented like the original arcade Tempest where you can restart at a higher wave. The main reason I put GW down originally was because it took so long for the difficulty to ramp up and then you got slaughtered. Yes I have played Galaxies and I like it (although it induces option paralysis), but since I rarely touch my Wii (unlike my wee-wee), I rarely touch Galaxies.
the video they had for the announcement during the keynote clearly showed 4 different colored ships. I'd say thats a good sign that there will be co-op at least!

I wonder if they'll get greedy and charge 800 points for this.

Anyone know if the sequel will have multi/co-op?
