Publisher's description of 3D Asteroids

From Grass Games:

Asteroids finally hits the third dimension. Though many new asteroids games claim to be 3D, they are in fact flat 2D games with 3D effects. GrassGames 3D Asteroids is the first asteroids game to enter the third dimension for real. Using a unique six-view screen and a special control system, your task is still to dodge and destroy asteroids, but this time you have to watch your back and every other direction you can think of. Faithful to the original, classic Asteroids game in all respects, but with an extra dimension, 3D Asteroids offers something original and fresh for all players. Version 1.4 has been fine-tuned.

Editor's review of 3D Asteroids

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: 3D Asteroids 1.4

Fans of the original Asteroids will find this 3D interpretation plenty enjoyable, though the uninitiated may wonder what all the fuss is about. A gloomy ambience reigns in this game where you, lost in space, face hordes of asteroids and a smattering of interloping alien ships. Fortunately, the laws of physics are defied here, and you can hear the asteroids coming toward your ship and from which direction they're coming. The controls take a while to master, but you can assign new keys to give yourself a leg up. 3D Asteroids even allows saving profiles of control keys for several players. The gameplay becomes a bit monotonous, but whoever said war was a variety show? We especially recommend the game for folks who haven't forgotten the old good Asteroids.

  "Not too good..."

  Cons: Extremely difficult to control, sometimes a graphical glitch happens when you use the mouse, and really just not much fun.

  "Most annoying game ever..."

  by MacFheorais on July 13, 2007

  Pros: Never even got as far as the game, got bored trying to get past the compulsory flight training and gave up.

  Cons: Okay, what the hell were these people thinking off??? You need to get through the mind numbing compulsory flight training before you are ALLOWED to play the game. Hello, we're not all retarded, it really doesn't look that hard, so why the 30 minute "flight training"??? I want to play a game, not fly a commercial airliner!

  Don't even bother downloading this muck....
