    Don't sue, just grab a crap ton of IAP's (stuff like extra Mayo and Ketchup) Always feels better taking back rightfully what's yours.

    Yes, same situation!

    1) Get a US-Apple ID (no payment details needed).
    Download iTunes. Go to the Appstore in iTunes. (Sign out if you're already signed in). Choose a Free App (there's a top-free apps list) to download. It'll ask you to sign up – select to do so.
    Fill in details correctly until the page with address
    Make sure to select 'Not this Country' if you're not in the U.S. (I don't remember, maybe I have selected US)
    It'll go back to the start - but some details will be still filled in
    Make sure to untick the spam tickboxes again
    Fill in a U.S. address and number from Fake Name Generator
    Verify with your e-mail.

    2) Go here
    and download hotspot shield. Install it for firefox / chrome etc
    and let it run it in the background as browsing internet.
    Your virtual country will be USA but be careful not to login to gmail by imap because I did it by mistake and they thought that my account has been hacked by someone in USA by a program!!! It was actually me and I fooled even gmail.. back to our topic.

    3) Go to IGN website and it will reveal to you the promo code. Then go to ipad / iphone and sign in from App Store with the US account - new appleID. Sign out the old one. It will switch to US App Store and go to redeem your code that IGN gave it to you. Start download it and when it will be finished, switch to your old account again and it will be back to your normal App Store. Your app though will be kept.

    I have done it yesterday and it worked just fine :)

    You don't need a US Account to claim one.

    Just send me a PM so i can generate a code for you.

    Don't forget to get the over priced Chip Pack with that too... 10 chips for just £2.99

    Everyone seems to have glossed right over this fact in their mad exchange over the slight of getting burned by the price drop.

    The controls are terrible, the game is nearly unplayable because of it. Deleted.

    I didn't get on too well with the swipe controls, but the on-screen game pad is fine. I played the game through to completion with those controls and thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Same here, I agree! The touch control is way better than the gestures. If it was a runner game, then ok maybe the gestures would be good but it's a action platform game.

    I actually find it quite playable and intuitive. Oddly enough I prefer swipe over buttons and I usually always prefer buttons in platformers

    I just didn't see what the game had to actually offer. Jumping was anything but fluid, to which the controls did not help, and combat was an over-simplistic mess... swipe a bit then stop and you auto-block, don't swipe when the enemy blocks, then swipe some more. It's beyond simplistic, not fluid, not well-paced, and not engaging.

    The game just doesn't have any meat on it.

    I'm going to have to try the game pad. I keep having troubles with the swipe controls. The Prince seems to always want to jump into the spike traps.

    While still not exactly solid the on screen controls are better than the swipe controls.
