First arcade game i bought (of many) and i still go back to it in extreme borededness... Great 15 minutes of mindless fun (how long it usually lasts before i die). Wish there were more classy titles like this instead of "coin-op classics"

I thought this was a bump... I was wrong 
I'm think I'm going to to say that this is the greatest launch title ever.
I bought this game the moment I bought a 360 and I still play it to this day. It's just as entertaining as it was the first time I played it, which is something I honestly can't say about many other games I've played during my time as a gamer.
This really is the only game I ever boot up my 360 for these days. If you own a 360 and don't own this game, get on it ASAP. You really can't go wrong.

I only stopped playing this because I got Stardust HD on the PS3 (which IMO is vastly superior), but when I'm on my 360, this is probably my most played game. Great Review Jeremy.

Galaxy Monkey, the last unlockable mini-game in Ape Escape for PlayStation, did this first. However, GeoWars does it so much bette. This game is great and the visuals make it so fantastic.
Was there a game before Galaxy Monkey (and not Asteroids) that had this style?
And for those who don't know, Galaxy Monkey had an ape in a flying saucer and the left analog stick controlled the movement and the right analog stick controlled the direction of fire. Enemies would fly in the screen and worked by levels, in that a certain amount and type of enemies would come in and once all defeated, next level.
Was their a game prior with this type of design?

I like this game, but (from the same people/art style) I like Boom Boom Rocket alot more. Maybe because I really like the song choice

If you have steam or a 360,
Definitely get the 360 ver.
the Steam port sucks, the size of the field is smaller (no matter was res you set on here) & no community high score board.
Overall same game but just a lazy port.

Robotron 2084 was the first dual stick shooter I believe.
