    What a bright idea, Gameloft, to create an expensive "interactive" video about an iPad/iPhone game that you can't watch with an iPad/iPhone. They should have added a YouTube version without that silly menu (that just goes on and continues without choice). So we know where all our money goes… :rolleyes:

    Other than that: The game is okay. Got it years ago when it was on sale. Nice and solid multiplayer options. Thanks (in the name of all others who didn't have it) for the freebie and to tA Senior Member AnarKitty for the info!
