Feel the energy of powerful emotions as you compete amongst your opponents to master the unique sport of Geon: Emotions. What's your strategy going to be? Will you choose to spread fear among the other players, or unleash a wave of bliss over them with the aim of subverting their cause? Play to your emotional strengths. Allow your dark side to dominate, or win through speed, courage, and style. You can be the master of Geon, but you must learn to use your emotions to your advantage. Geon: Emotions is something different, a fast-paced abstract sports game that lets you explore your emotions as you compete against opponents. The razor sharp visuals are accompanied by a pulse-pounding soundtrack. Perfect your skills in a head-to-head duel or try the time attack to win medals and unlock mini-games. Then, go multiplayer on Xbox LIVE with up to four players and let it all hang out on the emotional battlefield. [Microsoft]… Expand

    It’s a fresh idea with decent graphics and gameplay. You won’t mistake it for a big-budget shooter or elaborate adventure game, but that isn’t what it was aiming to be either.

    There are some fun power ups.

    Given the time and I think folks could come to appreciate this quirky Xbox Live Arcade title … it’s unfortunate that being released so close to Halo 3 many have chosen to pass on it.

    Otherwise, expect to get bored rather quickly with collecting spilled spheres and waiting for floating cube-movers. [Dec 2007, p.66]

    The core process of gathering up pellets and delivering them to the goal simply isn't as fun as it should be. For a game built upon this crucial cornerstone, no matter how many ideas are added on top of it, the whole construction remains unstable and, soon enough, un-enjoyable.

    Geon: Emotions is a pretty cute and easy to learn puzzle game on Xbox Live but nothing spectacular or addicting.

    Here's a list of things that this is less interesting than: rubber gloves, garden peas, Spam and watching paint dry (of course). [Issue 26, p.117]

The object of the game is to collect geons then spin to the opposite parallel side of the map to 'cash' them in. You race against one other opponent to collect as many geons as possible to see who finishes first. There are powerups that enable you to stop your opponent - hitting them makes them lose their geons. The game is colourful and vibrant. Everything Geon: Emotions sets out to do achieves it however I feel as if the game gets a bit too repetitive after a short time, you can only collect so many geons.… Expand
