I always felt like 3D lemmings was a "mixed" game between the community for some reason. similar to lemmings puzzle adventure in a way. :shrug:
I'd say the game is decent, it does have some rough spots, like for example the controls, which can be a pain in the head, especially if your playing the PS1 version. :P
Anc it does have some good in it, like for example the music, and some great levels that use the third dimension really well. :D
So, whats your thoughts about it? :)
I'm quite a fan of it, but I can definitely admit it has some weaknesses.
The camera controls are the obvious one. They're not really much better on PC. The keyboard-based controls are an improvement over the mouse-based ones, but still not ideal. Lack of ability to tilt up/down is also frustrating.
The other one is that honestly, I don't feel the level design was the greatest, and especially, it rarely made full use of 3D. There are a few absolutely excellent levels in there that couldn't work in 2D (eg. Critical Path), but also so many that aren't all that interesting and/or the 3D aspect of them is limited to "assign a couple of turners" and/or "the path has turns in it, but there's no puzzle-related reason it couldn't be a straight 2D line". Think of levels like "This Is The Army" or "The Five Arches" here.
It was definitely very fun to make an original level pack for!
I had it as a kid but I thought it was a little too convoluted and confusing to play. Definitely didn't like it as much as the original Lemmings games or even Paintball. I haven't played it since then, though, I'm interested in going back to it now that I have about 20 years of distance from my original experience.
The soundtrack is stellar though, I still listen to it to this day.
I keep having having Dreams and In the dream I'm asking my cousin, how far did you get in 3d Lemmings, I knew in the dream that he never completed lemmings 3d it before, well maybe in real life he has but not in the dream.
I quite liked Lemmings 3d and recommend it to other fans of lemmings, it is a bit tricky getting used to the camera but once you know the basics with the camera controls, it's a really fun game.
I completed the game a while back. :thumbsup:
