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.

Most annoying game ever...

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....

Pros
Uninstalling it
Cons
You can't control anything, it has a mind of it's own, poor interface controls ;-(
Summary
Horrible controls
mahzkriegMarch 11, 2006
Pros
Cons
The controls alone negate any other positive qualities of the game. I actually gave it some time, but it's just so unnatural. I would have preferred a simple WASD+Mouse setup, but A, Z, Up, Down, Left, Right control Courtesian movement of the ship, and you have to hold Shift + Up, Down, Left, Right to face another direction. Even though after a sufficient learning curve, you happen to pick it up, it's just not the twitch controls an Asteroids game needs. Game breaking.
Summary
Not too good...

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

Developer’s Description

By Grass Games

Shoot, avoid, and wipe out falling asteroids in real-time 3D.

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.
