In 1-D, you pretty much can't miss your target. In 2-D, it's much harder. In 3-D, it's even harder. In 4-D, it's even harder. That said, I think the difference between 2-D and 1-D is much greater than the difference between 3-D and 2-D is much greater than the difference between 4-D and 3-D is much greater than the difference between n-D and (n-1)-D for n > 4.
