Eh, I went ahead and bought it since I enjoyed WAW Zombies so much. We'll see how it runs...

Which one is better? I assume that the newer version is more technologically advanced, but I have heard from some people that the original is more fun.

Also, to repeat the question of a previous poster, how is solo play?

Just played a quick multiplayer match. Definitely feels different from the first, like the text is more cartoony, like it's out of a comic book. The controls are good, but it'll take some time to get used to having to tap twice to shoot. But yeah, pretty good so far. Worth the 2 bucks, I'd say. Still too early to see which is better, the first or this one.

Does the ipad version only have 2 maps? the iphone version I have has 4 but in the ipad description it says its just 2. I got Black Ops on release but have since moved it to my phone to make room on my ipad and the filesize of this version is way smaller so it could be a more manageable zombie fix.

So does it lag at all?

Bought the 1.99 one. Also grabbed Dead Rising, even though I've heard it sucks. Would pick up some more, but I only have .78 cents in my account, don't have time to pick up an iTunes card, and he'll will freeze over before I leave a credit card on file with iTunes.

There are some great indie games I want to pick up, but here's the rub: I know that games by the giant publishers will stay on the AppStore. I know, even if they don't recieved tons of free extras, they won't strip out what is already there.

It's an endless circle of self destruction with a lot of indies'...they don't make enough money, so they monetize or advert-ize their previously (or currently) paid games. By now, an indie better have a solid, multi-year track record on the iOS platform for me to consider doing business with them...and even then...(bought Redtrigger because of that great Samurai game; won't be dealing with Madwhatever again...add NC Soft, RedLynx, etc).
