What transpires in Across the 2nd Dimension for Phineas and Ferb is an uncomplicated game but one that revels in its simplicity and entices younger gamers with a boatload of varying game play types. You may be platforming one moment, then doing light shooting (with goofy weapons) and then using silly-looking tools to complete puzzles. It's all light and breezy in the various dimensions, so kids can focus on ridding these realms of evil purple goo.


RATING E for Everyone

PLOT Inspired by the Disney cartoon

DETAILS PlayStation 3, Wii, $40; DS, $30

BOTTOM LINE Simple fun
