While not including any online multiplayer options, Score Rush Extended does feature local cooperative gameplay for up to four players. The game allows over 30 orbs to follow players, a feat I have only achieved once, so you can only imagine the chaos that erupts from every player having a long trail of orbs following them around. I don’t need to tell you, but it has saved my life on many occasions.
Collecting either power-up when you are already maxed out gives off a colored wave (matching the color of your ship) that cancels nearby bullets. The orbs fire in the same direction as your ship, so once you have a fully upgraded ship, you’ll be covering an insane amount of on-screen real estate. Instead, the game stays true to its arcade roots, featuring upgrades for your constantly firing laser, as well as acquiring small orb-like drones that will follow your ship. There are no new ships to master, weapons to unlock or “magic” missiles that will automatically target enemies across the screen. If you find yourself surrounded with no hope of escaping, you are given a handful of bombs that will clear the screen of projectiles. It's a neat feature to include, especially if you find yourself getting cornered. At first, I thought it would slow down the action, and perhaps utilize a special meter that limited its use, but to my surprise, only your ship slows down. To help you stay alive as long as possible, you can hold down R1 to slow down your ships movement. Only the small center dot of the ship is vulnerable, allowing for some pretty nifty and intense moments where you dodge bullets left and right, narrowly avoiding bullets that scream across your wings. Your ship is relatively large in comparison to enemy projectiles, but thankfully you don’t have to worry about your entire craft being struck.
Boss Rush alters the gameplay slightly, eliminating the waves between the bosses and pitting you against the massive monstrosities one after another. It’s a simple premise survive waves of basic geometry shaped enemy ships of varying sizes before reaching a boss and continuing upon your path of destruction. Straying away from non-essential gameplay elements, the game focuses on the thrill of a classic arcade game. Score Rush Extended features two different game modes Score Rush and Boss Rush. A bullet hell shooter, Score Rush Extended stands out from the crowd by dialing things way past 11 from the get-go and doesn’t let up. Outside of the two-dimensional bonus modes included in Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions, the classic style shoot ‘em up genre has been relatively disappointing. Xona Games has developed a follow-up to their widely successful Score Rush that graced the Xbox Live Marketplace for the Xbox 360.
