      +1 Sandstorm is the better game, but BIA is also very good and should not be passed up at its current price

      these games are almost eras apart.
      MC:SS is the way to go.

      I got both the same day, and sandstorm was my favorite very quickly, it is an awesome game and took me decent amount if time to beat it (about 3 weeks casual gaming). I just recently beat it and am considering giving bia another go, but I didn't like it much mainly for the controls and it lags for me. I would say SS hands down from my experience. But I only beat 1 mission of bia so I dint know much about it.

      yeah i don't know what it is about BIA, its not a bad game, I see that, but it just never held my interest for long. I think COD4 changed the way everyone thinks about shooters, and MC sandstorm is more like a COD style gameplay. Thats really my only vague explanation, but BIA is definitely worth a buck, its just not as good as Sandstorm IMO.

      Sandstorm is definetly the better game, but that's just because it's newer. At the time of release, which is when the appstore first opened, Brothers in Arms was the sickest thing ever. It proved that a good shooter could be done on the iDevice, and now look what we have. Without BIA, you probably wouldn't have Sandstorm.

      Either way, I love both games, and say go for both. BIA is just $0.99 right now, which is 10% of the original price. I paid $10 for it and am really glad I did. If I don't mind paying that price for it, then you should be glad getting it at $0.99. Sandstorm is just sick too. Second best shooter out there (#1 goes to Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies) and more than worth $5. Just get both.

      I hated BIA controls.Modern combat is much better.This is prolly the first FPS that's fun to play on the iphone.
