Courtesy of ModiusX11 from the official
Geometry Wars 2 forums, we have a cool in-game
Geometry Wars 2 trick for you to try the next time you play the game. At anytime during any of the six
GeoWars2 single player modes, simply press the RB + Back buttons at the same time. What does it do? It insta-freezes the action and enables a really nifty (albeit hard to control) detached camera mode that allows you to roam around the
Geometry Wars universe in 3D space. This little 3D freezing trick is actually a
development tool that was used to help debug the game's graphics and was accidentally left in the final build. Doh! It's pretty useless in context of racking up a high score, but its screenshot and "WOW!" factor applications are nothing to scoff at.

Wowzers, that's amazing. I'm glad they left it in the game.

Very cool. I'm looking forward to trying this out.

That's kind of neat, wonder if it works on the demo too.

That's pretty cool. Now you can get a closer look at all the detailed 3D motion-capture animation that went into the game.

Why is this not advertised as a feature? This "easter egg" is something really cool that makes the game that much better.
