Well technically they do have 3D models. Its just that you don't notice because they're completely flat. Unfortunately, nowadays models are generally used instead of sprites. This is particularly vexing for Geometry Wars. I tried to rip the stuff from the PC version, but well it only had 4 textures. 2 of these were invisible squares used for god knows what while one was the Bizarre Creations logo. The last was just a grey, pillow shaded line that was colored through the game's programming and used as a texture for a bunch of flat pieces that make up the models. While this allows for some neat particle explosions, I was disappointed when I actually tried to rip from the game. :/
