Smash TV is one of the greatest games of all time, and it's amazing to see it enhanced after all these years. The scoreboard, online cooperative play, and achievement targets breathe new life into this old classic, making it a more-than-fitting tribute to the arcade original. Plus, the five bucks you would spend on buying the game is probably less than what you would spend to finish it at an arcade.

been playing the demo this whole time and got 279,800. Too bad it doesn't remember the scores. Guess I'm off to walmart to buy some points.

Techniques? SHOOT EVERYTHING AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

But seriously, the black hole things that warp the game when you shoot them? Yeah, you can shoot them and they will blow up harmlessly. The more stuff they suck in before you kill them, the higher your score. That's a helpful bit. I ignore the purple ninja star things... they are harmless. But the damn pink and green squares get shot FIRST. Hope that helps.

I agree. One time I had four black holes turned on sucking everything in and then all four corners decide to unleash multiple enemies and they got sucked in, the black holes exploded and made chaser black holes all after me then I screamed like a little girl. I love this game.

i love it when like 4 or 5 of the black holes start to get cought up in eachother

FRICK! You're today's big winner! Damn you... hahaha. jk. Congrats. I'm still trying to break 260K...

Ewww, the millions of little blue triangle things that come around the 150K mark are AWFUL!! I had to use 2 bombs because the computer thought I needed the challenge of TWO waves of the bastards! Grrr. Back to more Geo Wars LUV.

LOL!
Well, hate to break it, but I got about 473K just now

Was sooooooo pissed off when I was a little bit away from 500k.

Damn, this game is just TOO DAMN addicting!

Oh and honestly, whenever I close my eyes now, I see all those weird shapes in the game, haha

the worst is when it does this with the green or pink characters
or worse yet is when hundreds just pop on screen out of no where

I dont' mind them because if you listen for their audio que, you can get the hell out of dodge and head towards the border (where they are less likely to get you). The pink ones do suck in mass, but if you can get out of the center, blasting them isn't too bad. The Green things are annoying because they surf your gravity ripple affect thing... just random shooting is all I can say. At least they run away when you aim at them. I'm still grappling with the worm like things because you can only kill them if you shoot the heads. I usually just bomb them and call it a day.

And what the hell are you doing to get almost 500K Himura??? Teach me oh wise one!! Hahaha.

i find the green are the easiest to deal wiht you just push them into the wall wiht your fire untill they cant move then push your fire in on them they are easy to "heard"
