What’s It About?
PHINEAS AND FERB: ACROSS THE 2ND DIMENSION puts players in the shoes of best pals Phineas and Ferb, two characters known for getting into zany adventures and always pulling through. In this game, the two have to travel through an alternate dimension to reach the nefarious Dr. D, who is planning to unleash destruction all over the neighborhoods and surrounding areas of the hometown of Phineas and Ferb. Players will have to take out various minions and enemies, using everything from laser blasters to a projectile-like electric gum. All the while, the two friends work together and turn what could be an unnerving experience into an exciting adventure.
Is It Any Good?
Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension is filled with colorful environments, interesting platforming puzzles, and zany gadgets that can be used against the evil Dr. D's minions. It is this collection of unique weapons that is a highlight of the game, as are the intermittent cutscenes that progress the interesting story. There is nothing here that sets the game apart from the myriad other movie- and TV-based platformer games out there, but fans of the Phineas and Ferb TV show should have no problem enjoying this game.
