This doesn’t have to be looked at as a negative thing simply because the act of piecing together quick fire combos captures the essence of arcade nostalgia Geometry Wars is known for. Most of the challenges in the game are simply focused on racking up high scores. In order to open up each boss fight you must hit a certain score minimum which makes hitting the required score in the given time limit very satisfying but makes defeating each unlocked boss that much more enjoyable.

High scores play a significant role in Geometry Wars 3 not only because they lend themselves to the replay value but also they are the key to progression. The only times where I had issues where during heated shoot out moments I began to loose my ship unable to tell myself apart from the multiple enemies on screen this resulted in more than one frustrating death. Each shape on screen looking distinctly different than the last so being able to recognize what is what and their actions that will follow becomes second nature.

There is absolutely no room to get bored with Geometry Wars especially from a visual stand point every shot and kill explodes in a flurry of sparks and colors lighting up your TV screen as if it where about to burst into flames. Avoiding every enemy shape that comes zipping towards you while shooting each shape just before it can get out of range.īoss battles feel fresh, maintaining the same pandemonium of each individual level but adding an enemy who makes all the others feel like nothing more than lightning bugs. As each level progresses and the timer winds down you feel this simultaneous urge to kill and survive. One of my favorite things that happened to me at least was throughout the course of the game your weapon transition from simply being a means of survival to a tool to achieve your next high score. This is no easy task there where numerous moments where I felt I was one eye blink away from being vaporized by the flying stars, squares or the insane pink diamonds that saw fit to end my little ships life as soon as possible. With each shape you fight against comes a different behavior pattern so learning your enemy becomes a must if you want to survive long enough to see your high score surpass other players.

With each level different shapes 3D and 2D serve as the battlegrounds where you wage war against enemies of all shapes and sizes (pun Intended). Geometry Wars from the outside looking in could give the impression of being rather simplistic but this is far from the case.

I love that this is a day and age where a game like this can entertain me just as much as a big block buster title but it does in its own unique way. This is one of the main things Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions Evolved delivers throughout every level you play. Never have I had the thoughts “this is really beautiful” and “oh my god I’m going to have a panic attack at the same time”.
