    It's priced correctly, plays wonderfully, and controls nicely.

    With 7 stellar game modes and some insanely addictive gameplay in each of them, plus the added features of Achievements and Leaderboards Geometry Wars: Touch will keep you in a trance-like state for hours and weeks and months to come.

    One of the early examples of what the iPad can do graphically. If you want a game to show off your iPad, this one works well. It also serves as a fine example of how to do excellent analog control on a touchscreen.

    Pretty good. It does have a couple of problems in that the leaderboard system does not have a friends list, and the game, sometimes gets a little too frantic for touch controls.

    As a port to Apple's i-devices, Geometry Wars: Touch is a great addition to anyone's portable game library. The only hardship is the controls take a long time to get used to, but as we've found in our testing and just by looking at the leaderboards, it can be done.

    Geometry Wars: Touch is not the perfect port because, let's face it, there is no substitute for a pair of physical sticks. You just cannot duplicate that kind of precision with virtual sticks.

    An acute mix of intense twin-stick shooter action and dazzling visuals hampered by awkward controls.
