This is precise 2D gameplay exploded to take in boggling, free-wheeling, 3D strategies. Because, just as the plumber’s pioneering Wii debut used gravity and wraparound worlds to provide a new playground of opportunities for tried and true game mechanics, so too does GW3 maintain what Geometry Wars is while wildly exploring what it can be. Later you’ll discover that facetious comment to hold a great deal more insight than you thought. You might even half-joke to yourself that ‘they’ve done a Mario Galaxy’, on first sight of the game’s boundless, freely roamable arenas. The first thing you’ll notice will of course be the titular dimensions. Theoretically it adds a couple of new modes and rule-sets to the mix along the way, but in reality, each and every level is a brand-new way of experiencing the game. Use them wisely though, and there are immensely heroic, strategic triumphs to be had.Ĭomprising the bulk of Dimensions’ content, its 50 levels are a masterclass in creative escalation, reshaping, refocusing, deconstructing and rebuilding GW’s core, twin-stick shooting in a giddy number of new directions. If you miss and crash into them, they'll kill you dead. Spawning intermittently as large, pixelly icons, when shot to pieces they bestow everything from death-hose multi-shots, to spread-guns, to mad stuff like a destructive, Tron Lightcycle-style tail. Super States - or power-ups to you and I - are a fantastic new addition. Because Adventure Mode also exists, and it is a very special achievement indeed.
But if you did that, you would be a goddamned fool. If you wanted to, you could keep playing this updated GW2 until the apocalypse and beyond, and have just as great a time as you ever have. All but one of the original modes are here, polished up to a sleek, new-gen shine and fully equipped – as is everything else – with the same, on-screen, friends-list leaderboard that devastated your sleep patterns the last time round. GW3’s Classic mode comprises everything that made its predecessor one of the greatest games of all time. It’s testament and tribute to the strength of those core mechanics, not the dissolution of them.įor starters, Geometry Wars 2 stalwarts need fear nothing. This is a game about expanding and exploring, not replacing and rebooting.
You see Geometry Wars 3 understands that the solution to the evolution conundrum is not to build dangerous new additions into a previously tight, self-sustaining set of game systems, but to build around them.
