Jim Power: The Lost Dimension in 3D

Jim Power: The Lost Dimension in 3D is a colorful action platformer built around fast movement, shooting, jumping, and an almost suspicious amount of danger. The player controls Jim Power as he fights through hostile environments filled with enemies and hazards, with the game placing considerable emphasis on reflexes. The 3D presentation gives the adventure a distinctive look, even though the underlying gameplay remains firmly rooted in classic platforming. Levels demand careful timing, and the difficulty can be unforgiving when you stop paying attention for even a moment. There is plenty of action, however, and the variety of environments keeps the experience moving. Jim Power feels like a game designed to test how quickly you can react while simultaneously throwing increasingly unpleasant obstacles at you. It may occasionally make you question your keyboard technique, but overcoming a difficult section delivers exactly the kind of satisfaction old-school platformers were built to provide.
