My point is, Geometry Wars 3 is an entertaining shooter that continues the tradition set by its predecessors, but it doesn’t really raise the bar in a big way. Since Geometry Wars debuted, the likes of Super Stardust and Nano Assault Neo have come along and are just as good, and in some ways, they may be even better. Multiplayer is a welcome addition, and the 3D worlds are fun, but that’s not entirely new in and of itself. Geometry Wars 3 didn’t quite have the same magic the originals had, and it’s largely due to the fact that there isn’t really anything new here. Yes, it’s a great game, I’m going to rate this one highly, but something felt wrong. But there was a little part of me that felt … weird.

When I first heard that Geometry Wars 3 was headed our way, I was immensely excited to have it back in the spotlight, and I’m very glad that it’s back. I’ve played many of its iterations, and even gave the iOS version a shot some time ago.

Every few rounds, you’ll come across challenging boss fights, or be introduced to a new gameplay type, essentially teaching you all there is to know about the game and its modes. The main story mode has you moving from one level to the next, completing certain objectives whilst surviving and putting up a high score. You’ll need to have your wits about you if you want to avoid all of the characters on screen, and the added difficulty of not exactly knowing what’s around the corner makes for an even more eventful experience, though that does vary depending on which level or game type you choose.

In fact, you’ll regularly find yourself moving about 3D landscapes of various shapes and sizes, though the goals remain the same.īy finally updating Geometry Wars to a 3D landscape, Lucid Games (comprised of former Bizarre Creation team members) has opened up the possibilities within Geometry Wars’ gameplay. However, you’re no longer bound by a 2D plane as before. Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions (GW3) follows the same premise as always a twin stick shooter mimicking a Tron-esque light show of fast moving enemies and hectic action. It seems the little shooter that could has seen everything. Top selling Xbox Live sequels, handheld spin-offs, studio closures and even a rebranded former publishing giant taking over the reigns.
