![]() ![]() Steam Achievements and LeaderboardsThe game has 30 Steam Achievements that you can earn and is also integrated with Steam Leaderboards so you can check how you stack up against your friends. ![]() Soundtrack Geometry Wars 3 has a catchy, adrenaline-pumping electronic soundtrack that complements the game perfectly thanks to the efforts of Chris Mann.Ĭouch co-op Geometry Wars 3 gets a big tick for couch co-op and it's actually quite a bit of fun (if all players on your team are actually any good at shmups).Įasy to pick-upThe game is ideal for parties or whenever you have friends over even if they've never played the game before as it's easy to figure out what you've got to do.įamily FriendlySince the graphics are pretty abstract (we're talking about brightly coloured polygons shooting other polygons) I guess you can say the game is family friendly, unless you're a supporter of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Polygons. GraphicsThe game has appealing, bright and colourful polygons for its graphics. Geometry Wars 3 appeared to be a game that on first impressions ticked all of those boxes and that's why I'm now reviewing the game today. Geometry Wars 3 stayed in my library for quite some time until I purchased a Steam Link and wanted to try as many games in my library that seemed to (1) have full controller support, (2) be family friendly and (3) have co-op play I was basically looking for games I could play with my 4-year-old daughter. How I got itI managed to get this game as part of the Humble Sierra Bundle last year and while I was mainly getting the bundle for all the classic Sierra adventures (which I already have on GOG mind you) there were a bunch of games in there published by the new Sierra too such as Geometry Wars 3. So, to be effective at this game you need to stay alive for as long as possible, destroy as many enemies as possible and collect as many green tokens as possible to help boost your score. ![]() Destroying the enemies not only grants you points but they also drop green tokens which once collected increase your points multiplier dying however will reset the points multiplier and you only have a limited number of lives too. Geometry Wars 3 is a twin stick shooter where you get to control your little ship around a surface filled with a variety of enemies. The game was hugely popular and it spawned many sequels this one is the first to be developed by a studio besides Bizarre Creations (which was closed by Activision in 2010) and published by the resurrected Sierra brand (a subsidiary publishing arm of Activision). Not realising they had stumbled across an instant classic, Bizarre Creations developed a version of the game called Geometry Wars : Retro Evolved specifically for the Xbox 360's Live Arcade in 2005. What is it? Geometry Wars started out as a mini-game to test the Xbox controller while Bizarre Creations developed Project Gotham Racing and was included as a mini-game in Project Gotham Racing 2 back in 2003. "Bright" and "colourful" are two words that come to mind when checking out the graphics in Geometry Wars 3 ![]()
