It does pan a bit though yes?.... the Retro Evolved that comes on the Galaxies disc is a single rectangular level, but it i slightly larger than the screen, and there is a kind of bounding box for the ship so that it stays relatively in the centre of the screen. (so if you go up the the "wall" of the level you willl see the ship near the middle, and blackness outside the grid that is the level.
Unless I am getting Galaxies mixed up with RE now.

That is the way Retro Evolved is.

Ah, then it is the same on the Wii.
The Galaxies are the same in principal as Retro Evolved.... except there are different shapes and sizes for the levels, a number of new enemies and a couple of things that aren't really enemies, like the flippers, which are white squares that you can't go though, nor shoot through.... but the enemies can, and they move about. Or the minelayers, which you can't touch as they kill you, but otherwise they just go in straight lines through the levels laying mines, and if you move over a mine you can set off a chain reaction for some huge points (the mines don't hurt the ship)... then there are the black holes, which don't hurt you but they cause a vortex, so your ship and all the enemies are spinning around and toward the centre of the level.
Also you get a little robot drone thing, which can be set to different tasks, like simply helping you fire, or defending you by ramming close by enemies and such.... and by collecting geoms you can train the drone in each of the different tasks so that it is more efficient.
The levels increas in difficulty as you unlock them by collecting geoms from the level, as well as rewards for getting gold/silver/bronze medals
And each level has an online leaderboard of it's own... one of them I got lucky and managed a huge score that is ranked 16th currently (it was 14th)... but I have no chance of getting near the top in the early levels as people clearly practice on them a lot.... the first training level I think I am in the late 300s (out of about 40,000 I think)

Seriously if you enjoy RE and have a Wii, buy Galaxies. It's awesome (you don't seem to going by your collection though) And because it doesn't sell so well you can find it cheap as dirt.... I got my copy for £8 (Which I think is 800-900 Microsoft points)

Retro Evolved doesn't have the flippers and I haven't seen any minelayers. It has these feather type enemies that come out of the corners, and this red ship that I call the bulldozer that you have to shoot from the side because it is pushing things that block your shots towards its front, and it has what I call the worms that appear with a loud shrieking noise, and the black holes, they either collect enemies inside them and explode sending blue dots flying towards you or you can shoot them when they are spinning and the faster they're going when you destroy them, then the more points you can get as a result.
There's also Geometry Wars 2 on 360, and I think it might be quite a bit easier to get achievements on that one., It has different modes of play while the first one just has retro and evolved, and I know from playing the trial of that game that one of Geo Wars 2's modes is a time trial where you can keep adding to the number of multipliers you have even if you get killed and in retro evolved as soon as you get killed you lose all your multipliers.
