Yet power through Dimensions’ low points and it’ll never be long before you encounter a stage that sees the classic formula on point and you’ll be left gasping as you weave and thread your way through seemingly insurmountable odds.Īfter the original concept was expanded upon so expertly in Geometry Wars 2, this threequel finds itself trying to do too much. But things go a bit wrong whenever a level with flat sides appears it’s impossible to see what’s ahead on the next side until it’s almost too late, creating a sense of injustice that wasn’t a factor in the original titles. When the level design is on form, they can be as thrilling as any of their 2D counterparts. The 3D stages see Dimensions at its most inconsistent. But other stages take the experimentation further, popping the action out into various wrap-around 3D planes. It’s this simplicity, married with hidden depth, that makes the formula so ripe for experimentation.Īnd so, simple time attacks give way to more unorthodox challenges missions where ammo is limited, say, or where the walls close in.
