Giant Bomb Video Game News
Video Game News, Stories and Updates for the PS3, XBOX 360, PC, PSP, Wii, and DS
Added by Brad Shoemaker on Aug. 1, 2008
Friend of Giant Bomb MrJared has updated the Geometry Wars 2 wiki with information on a 3D camera mode hidden in the game. Naturally, all work around here has ground to a halt as we investigate this profound discovery. Apparently you need to hit right bumper and the back button to enable it, but for some reason that ain't getting it done over here. Have you gotten it to work? What are we doing wrong? Are we totally stupid? (I mean, the answer to that one is "yes," but cut us some slack here.)
In sorta-related news, Mr Killemgood over at the NeoGAF forum reports that Geometry Wars 2 has posted the highest three-day sales figures yet for an Xbox Live Arcade game, which tells me there may be some good aspect of the human race worth saving after all. I know I'm having a hard time doing anything constructive, knowing people on my friends list are passing my high scores at this very moment. (Incidentally, friend requests from people with higher scores than me will be denied on principle henceforth.)
HOW?

UPDATE
It works! Earlier we had a Rock Band guitar plugged into the 360, and the controller was assigned to player 2. So 3D mode doesn't work when you have a guitar controller plugged in OR when you're player 2. Not sure which. Giant Bomb exclusive!

You can send me a friend request, Brad. I don't ever do well with GeoWars. But I still play it, so you can always count on my score being lower than yours. ;)
and, a 3D mode?? LIES!! It's all about the photoshop with that one. lol

even if this was true, i don't think i would play it that much.
ATTENTION:
I got it to work...but what is said to work doesn't actually work. Let me explain: while playing I pressed both RB and BACK, but all it does is pause the game and allow you to move the camera in three dimensions with the analog sticks. LIES.
EDIT:
Wait, the wiki just says 3D camera mode. How aren't you guys getting it? You are totally stupid, but I have faith that you will learn to press buttons simultaneously by the end of the day.

My brain would explode, I dare not try it.
Also this game is slowly eating my soul..

Never played Geometry Wars but it appears - from the description - that this mode only happens when the game is fully paused.
I can confirm that, like logson said earlier, this only pauses the game and allows the player the rotate the camera around in a 3D plane. You can't actually play the game in 3D (and if you can, it can't be done this way).
Doesn't matter, because the game is addictive as hell without 3D. And to think I doubted this game's greatness...
I can't seem to get it to work in a playable mode... maybe this is like that 3D camera tease from the screenshots of XBLA's most underappreciated game: Carcassonne...
I'm actually more surprised that the enemies don't have depth (z-axis) than the fact that there's a 3D camera, regardless of their redesigns.
I get it to work, but the game pauses when i enter the 3D mode, so i cant seem to actually play in this mode.
But yeah, just press LB+Back button.
