Geometry Wars - where did it peak?

So from an loading a screen, it turned into possibly the best dual stick shooter franchise of all time, but having played a few iterations of it im a bit on the fence with this series.

Personally i thought it peaked at GW: Galaxies, as i thought the newer stuff added way too much that took away from the basic design of the series, although i would like to hear opinions from fellow gamers.

I really disliked the 3d "planets" in the future games and took it away from its core gameplay in some way.

Anyone else a fan?

I love it but played 99% in pacifism.

Big fan. GW:2 was it's peak. The 3D shit was garbage, and felt kind of desperate. There's only so much you can do with the formula. If they wanted to try something a bit different, they should've made an entirely different game, instead of just slapping the sprites on a 3D plain. I played Geo Wars 3 for about two hours, before I got annoyed at all the changes, deleted it, and went back to Geo Wars 2.
