Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions

Top Pro

Higher production values

The latest entry into the Geometry Wars series and the production values are pretty nice. Graphics in the game are the best they have been with newly designed levels that work in the third dimension. Overall, there is quite a lot of polish to the titles which shows over its previous endeavours. See More

Top Con

Chasing high scores can get tiring

While there are some new additional game modes in this third iteration of the series, the same "chase the high score" element is present and is still the main focus of the game. While not entirely bad in and of itself (chasing high scores), it can wear thin pretty quickly. See More

Top Pro

HID controller support

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions can be played with any Bluetooth HID compatible controller. Something that is very welcome being that a controller will give much more precise controls for such a hectic style game. See More

Top Con

No Android TV support

With the release of the Nvidia Shield set top box as well as the Nexus Player, Android TV is becoming quite popular for TV gaming. Sadly the Android TV Store does not carry all titles available in the Google Play Store, meaning the dev has to publish it there, which Activision did not do for Geometry Wars 3. See More

Top Pro

Leaderboards

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions utilized Google's Play Games leaderboard feature wherein users can compete for the highest score with their friends and the world. See More

Top Con

No immersive mode

For such a popular game released by a very large studio, to see no immersive mode for the game is quite a disappointment. There is no reason to still see this feature missing from games two years after it's initial release in the OS. See More

Xenowerk

Top Pro

Achievements and leaderboards

Xenowork has built in Play Games feature of achievements and leaderboards. Achievements allows for the player to be rewarded for accomplishing tasks and leaderboards allows for the competition of high score in the game with friends or the world. See More

Top Con

Demanding game

Due to the high polish of the game the graphics can be demanding, in order to get the smoothest gameplay it is recommended to close all apps when playing. Higher end hardware will also obviously perform better. So sadly lower end phones will most likely not play this game very well. See More
