Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension
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
