GWRE2 is vastly bigger than the original, including not only a remixed version of Evolved, but also 5 additional game modes which each provide a unique challenge. Waves returns, but has been supercharged and tweaked. Fan favourite Pacifism has been promoted from achievement to full game mode, and newcomers King, Deadline, and Sequence round out the package.



Each game mode can be played solo, or with up to 4 players on a single Xbox 360 console. Either team up with a friend in co-operative play, or every man for himself in competitive mode. You can also play Co-Pilots, where one player drives and the other shoots.

GWRE2 features full XBLA leaderboard support as you'd expect, as well as 12 new achievements designed to encourage players to see the game from a different angle. Retro Evolved 2 has been created entirely in-house at Bizarre, led by coding veteran Stephen Cakebread (creator of the original Geometry Wars games).
