    There is nothing revolutionary here with the mechanics but it happens to be the best twin stick shooter I have ever played. Controls, gameplay and graphics are all excellent. Mixes things up a lot in adventure mode and really keeps you wanted to progress. Only knock would be that it could use more music tracks as after hours of playing you really don't want to hear the songs anymore.

    The newly released DLC that has been downloaded free, is, simply put amazing! I already gave this game a ten because it has great graphics, incredible gameplay and a banging soundtrack and superb effects to boot. They have given us twice the game, now, for free. New modes, eight new enemies, more challenge, a different art style in hard mode, an extra drone and special.

    If there is one developer to support, surely one that gives so much, deserves our support?    … Expand

    Insanely fun and addictive twin stick shooter. The difficulty ramps up fairly quick, not just in the levels themselves but in the adventure mode progression as well. Multiple player modes give a nice bit of diversity. You can level up two different types of abilities: a gameplay-enhancing mechanic and various types of bombs. You start with only 1 option but the rest unlock as you beat moreInsanely fun and addictive twin stick shooter.

The controls are simple yet amazingly fluid. Stiff controls just kill a twin stick shooter, and this doesn't have any of that. Highly recommended for any age and this game does wonders for developing your reaction time.… Expand

    Very intense and action-packed, really engaging. Beautiful special effects.

    Pretty difficult, which can be forbidding, but also thrilling when you get past a level.

    Amazing twin stick shooter for the serious gamer, feels like a spiritual sequel to Galaxies on Wii. A free update added a substantial amount of quality extra content! If you like Resogun you will find similar thrills here. The only issue I have is my analogue sticks get punished after a heavy session on this game. Highly recommended!

    I just f/cking love geometry wars. Tthis is pure perfection for me. Starting with excellent smooth gameplay and controls finishing on really nice challenge and pure fun flowing at You straight out of the screen. This is essentially what the video game should be. I couldnt recommend this game enough. This is even better than resogun, it has waaay more content.

    Just a fun, simple twin stick shooter. It is really addictive with a lot of creative and interesting enemies. For something that looks so simple. That last boss is a tough one. And it keeps getting you to go back to improve your scores.

    This is a marvellous twin-stick arcade blast-up! It's so addictive, has many cool game modes, insane scoring, and intense challenges.

    The visuals really draw you in, and the screen can end up total chaos, sometimes you'll wonder how your brain can even manage. It's silky smooth to play and designed by people who really understand the genre. If you love other superb twin-stick games    This is a marvellous twin-stick arcade blast-up!

    GREAT game!    … Expand

    A fine twin-stick shooter that's just a few minor tweaks away from something really special - though score-chasers up for a stern challenge may well adore its charms. [Feb 2015, p.95]

    Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is a near perfect game let down only by the demanding mission padding and a soundtrack that represents a slight step backwards from its predecessors.

    Gorgeous, compulsive shooting action with incredible depth, but the score battles can be mismatched. [Feb 2015, p.76]
