In Summary, Geometry wars is back! Staying true to its roots in every way, Dimensions does an excellent job of keeping the basics down yet re inventing and adding to the overall experience. The new adventure mode is brilliant and introduces you to the many new game modes including the ability to have a side kick which you can upgrade and kit out with new guns. It really is a great game n every way, I found the online was lacking any real depth but it is the first proper attempt at online play so il let it pass. Local co op is very clever with both players having to actually work together and string combos in order to pass the levels. Seriously though the game is like digital crack and should not be missed by anyone. Its a visual assault on eyes and well worth your time, money, blood, sweat and tears!
