This will probably bring some haters out of the woodwork. Personally, if you really want to play the game, I'd probably just go for the freemium version. Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #3 Exact-Psience, Oct 19, 2012 Well, if the premium bonuses are worth more than $5.99 (havent checked), whoever buys the premium version now gets more than they pay the $2.99 for. Plus, it doesnt have the ads. awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #4 awp69, Oct 19, 2012 True. I never got the original as I didn't have a compatible device at the time. So ended up getting the freemium and enjoyed it, but guess I was blown away by it enough to get the premium version -- particularly since a lot of people who had paid weren't too happy with the way it was handled. So guess it could be a toss-up. Again, it's a pretty good game. Just another one of those that might not have been handled too well -- at least at first -- when they released the freemium version. Know they did some things to try to rectify that. Probably better to ask someone who did get the premium one on how they feel about it now. Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #5 Exact-Psience, Oct 19, 2012 I got the premium day one, and although the free version really hurt, the free stuff i got helped a lot in my progress through the game, especially since i never had intentions to buy IAP for it. For $3, i'd recommend it. (You must log in or sign up to post here.) Show Ignored Content Share This Page Tweet Your name or email address: Do you already have an account? No, create an account now.
