Then I saw that it was marked down from $9.99. I don't mean to sound cheap, but compared to other ios games that's a little steep. It's not like I couldn't afford to pay $9.99. I'm going to pay $59.99 for my copy of Titanfall on Tuesday. But I digress. $1.99 is more than a fair price. I can't wait to finally try this game out.

I also read there are issues with invasive IAP and with server lags that make the game unplayable. What gives? i hesitate to buy this even with the price drop... Vovin ð® Spam Police ð Nov 28, 2009 6,514 3 38 Germany #5 Vovin, Mar 6, 2014 That were guesses by some forum members, not experiences with the game. Read the main thread, and even more important: the front page review of the game. This explains exactly what the IAP is. Prejudices are useless. vii-Lucky Well-Known Member Jul 28, 2013 1,611 0 0 #6 vii-Lucky, Mar 6, 2014 Still hesitant.

What exactly is intrusive? zdn1042 Well-Known Member May 10, 2013 642 0 0 #12 zdn1042, Mar 6, 2014 I'm really tempted to get this one... But does it really require constant internet connection? I don't even have a data plan BTG-XCELL Well-Known Member Jan 11, 2014 90 0 0 #13 BTG-XCELL, Mar 6, 2014 So if server-side is shutdown at some point, we'll no longer have a functional game? I don't get the need for the internet connection... Is this game being streamed from their servers? Why couldn't this just play locally, independent of the internet? pouffie Well-Known Member Aug 4, 2013 189 0 16 #14 pouffie, Mar 6, 2014 I share the same concern. You cannot take for ganted that servers will eternally work morgantj Well-Known Member Dec 8, 2011 230 0 0 Computer Specialist #15 morgantj, Mar 6, 2014 Luckily I don't think any of us will play this for eternity either. At a measly 1.99, I think Ill take my chances. A coffee cost that much and doesn't last for eternity. pouffie Well-Known Member Aug 4, 2013 189 0 16 #16 pouffie, Mar 6, 2014 Ok, good point. But what about the alleged lags due to the need of an internet connection?

People say that this is a clearly inferior version of the original game: no scenario, no cut-scenes, no cinematics, no voice-overs... It's just a continuous sequence of the same stages and mini-games. Sorry, but I refuse to buy this. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
