    I couldn't remember why I haven't yet bought this. 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 just read that you need to be connected online all the time in order to play this solo game.

    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...

    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.

    I'm really tempted to get this one... But does it really require constant internet connection? I don't even have a data plan :(

    So if server-side is shutdown at some point, we'll no longer have a functional game? :confused:

    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?

    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.

    Ok, good point. But what about the alleged lags due to the need of an internet connection?

    I don't know. However, in my experience, I don't have 90% of the problems people claim to have with these games.

    Did you guys even bother reading the reviews on the US app store? 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.
