Pros
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.
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.
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.
Pro Great variety in puzzles
A lot of attention has been put into creating interesting levels with great pacing and variety throughout the game.
Pro Beautiful visual style
World of Goo is pleasing to look at. Most of the time it's very colorful and joyful, but it changes from time to time to reflect different parts of the world. Nevertheless, it is stylistically well presented throughout the game.
Pro A twisted tale
As you start playing there doesn't seem to be much of a story. A few philosophical messages left behind by the Sign Painter and a cut-scene here or there. But as you progress through the game you unearth different details about a slightly disturbing world.
Pro Good, funny music
Each level has good and very funny music.
Pro Excellent physics engine
Physics in-game take into account gravity, wind, weight of different goo-balls, structural integrity of your architectural solutions to create an addictive, "let me try this one more time"-type of gameplay.
Cons
Con Touch screen controls aren't great
Due to the twitch-action nature of this game, touch controls just aren't quite precise enough, and your finger can occasionally cover important information on-screen.
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.
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.
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.
Con No co-op mode
The PC version does not include the co-op mode that was included in the Wii Ware version.
