To #43... just because 3D is more technically proficient and requires more work, more horsepower, etc., does not mean that games should always be in 3D. This happens to be a case for a game that would work perfectly in 2D - i.e. a direct translation of comic strip characters. The 2D represented in the movie is comic - it's not meant to look realistic - there is an art to that and many of us appreciate, neigh, *enjoy* it.

2D games peaked with the SNES - and damn if those weren't some of the greatest games of all time. I *wish* those kind of resources went into 2D games nowadays - can you imagine what Nintendo or Square could do with a 100% 2D/sprite based game? drool...

Please - before it is too late - forget the 3D portion of this game was ever created - just give us a Sam&Max style adventure with Penny Arcade's humor and Tycho's writing and I will happily pay for it.

Why why why make this in 3D??? This game would be absolutely PERFECT in 2D a la Sam&Max or DoTT. I want to play this game for the humor and writing - I do not want to run around "exploring" in yet another bland 3D world.

Regarding comment 1... who cares what exactly the game is *only* doing. (and I digress but there are some cool complex things going in this game) The point is that the game is FUN, and I, along with many other people, have played Geometry Wars as much as any full price game on the system.

When I picked up my 360 about a year ago I got Obvlivion and Geometry Wars. I played Oblivion for less than 10 (painful) hours, but I have probably played Geometry Wars for a good 20-30+, and I still play it every now and then a year later. I knew Oblivion was not my cup of tea going into it, but I picked it up on the hype anyway.

Point being - It sounds like heresy, but I wish it was GW that cost $60 and Oblivion only cost $5. Even though Oblivion had an order of magnitude more work put into it than Geometry Wars, GW was worth more to me than Oblivion.
