   I know everyone has there opinion but I think TopHatJohn needs to rethink his. I believe the music only constitute for 9%, while I highlyI know everyone has there opinion but I think TopHatJohn needs to rethink his. I believe the music only constitute for 9%, while I highly enjoyed GWE2's music, I think the new guy produce an equal quality of music. As for co-op in classic, that can be DLC (as they demonstrated with blood count). My only downfall thus far is reading the black holes (gravity wells as I use to explain them), and the glitch me and my GF some how produce in giving her high scores on levels her account hasn't unlocked yet. Other than that, this is my new addiction and my x button is getting wore out!! >.<… Expand

   Awesome edition to the series, albeit frustratingly difficult to pick up 2 or 3 stars on a number of maps, thus making progression very slowAwesome edition to the series, albeit frustratingly difficult to pick up 2 or 3 stars on a number of maps, thus making progression very slow in the story mode, but hey, I keep coming back for more, just one more try.....(2 hours later - still playing). Absolute quality and very challenging.… Expand

   Geo Wars returns with a new, mind-bending, strategy-robbing twist: three-dimensional playing fields. While all the classic modes return fromGeo Wars returns with a new, mind-bending, strategy-robbing twist: three-dimensional playing fields. While all the classic modes return from the previous entry, the titular "Dimensions" can be found in Adventure Mode. All 50 levels each have their own gimmick, and the novelty quickly wears off as you barely scrape by level after level, only to run up to a brick wall of a star prerequisite for a boss, forcing you to backtrack and grind geoms to upgrade your drone and super abilities, then constantly swap them out as you try and find the right combination for the level you're trying to just barely get two stars on, let alone three. Nine times out of ten, the three dimensional fields take away the strategy of hugging a wall, and turning your ship at the wrong time can lead to a horrendous camera angle that leads to enemies coming out of nowhere, or just plain spawning on top of you with absolutely no time to react, potentially leading you to a string of cheap deaths, undoubtedly within a hairbreadth of the 2-3 star score requirement. More than once I swore I hit the bomb button an instant before an enemy slammed into me; leading me to wonder why at this point, it doesn't automatically detonate upon enemy impact, if it's available, thus avoiding thrown controllers and expletives.
   
   I'll be throwing this into the same group as the Trials franchise; a game easy to pick up to kill 15-30 minutes, before it becomes frustrating to the point where you wondered why you booted it up in the first place.… Expand

   Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions simply adds a third dimension to the play-field that is usually flat. Throw in a few extras and a levelGeometry Wars 3: Dimensions simply adds a third dimension to the play-field that is usually flat. Throw in a few extras and a level progression section that requires players to perform well to see it through, and the Xbox Live integration, and you've got an improved Geometry Wars. If you've never played before, it's basically Asteroids meets Tron arcade survival game, and it could be a "10" experience for you. Since I've owned the first Geometry Wars and played the second a bit, I'm not as blown away by the third game. That doesn't make it underwhelming, I just don't have the same wow-factor response as others might. While it's usually $15, I managed to snag it for $10 on sale via Xbox Live Deals with Gold, great value for the purchase.… Expand

   The dimensions mode is really challenging to play.
   The classic mode has a different feel, but is still insanely fun.
   Co-op mode for classicThe dimensions mode is really challenging to play.
   The classic mode has a different feel, but is still insanely fun.
   Co-op mode for classic is missing!
   I seriously cannot believe that they took out the ability for 2-4 people to play the classic modes.
   Also notable is that they didn't use the same guy to do the music for the game.
   It's nowhere near as good as the other releases.
   That was a really important part of the game.… Expand
