MAKIBISHI COMIC has fun, but bizarre, gameplay

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

MAKIBISHI COMIC – If you ever had the desire to reach out with your finger and poke robot ninja comic book characters into action, then your favorite app ever has just arrived. MAKIBISHI COMIC has the loud and flashy illustrations of an Anime flick complete with awkward dialogue that reads like it was poorly translated into English. MAKIBISHI COMIC (the developers list the app’s title in all caps) will hold the most appeal to heavy followers of the aforementioned genres. The purpose of the game is to find the five robot ninjas (who appear to have borrowed Max’s outfit from Where the Wild Things Are ) hiding in Robot Ninja’s Village. They are hiding from assassin ninjas who are, of course, seeking to assassinate them. The gameplay involves tapping on the characters inside a comic-book like sequence in order to have them act out the unfolding drama. For example, in one scene you must manipulate a battle between monkeys and the robot ninjas. Doing so involves trying to figure out which character to tap on next and how that will impact the storyline. Some of the animation is actually quite good and entertaining. Who can resist a series of larger and larger monkeys who appear to fight a wild boar. If MAKIBISHI COMIC is anything, it is certainly not boring. Prepare yourself for a giant robot, a ninja who floats on a cloud wanting a shower, and a grandfather clock that controls time. The downside is that playing the game sometimes dissolves into tapping mindlessly on the screen to try and make something happen. Some of the action sequences you create make sense — others don’t. And the further you make your way through the game, the more bizarre the storyline gets. One upside: the app is free until Christmas Day . So if wacky comic-book style ninja action is what you are looking for, hit the App Store and download it soon. app_name: MAKIBISHI COMIC rating: 7/10 © AppCraver , 2009. | MAKIBISHI COMIC has fun, but bizarre, gameplay | Get our iPhone Reviews on Facebook & Twitter !

Tank Tigers Offers Multi-Player iPhone Fun

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Tank Tigers is a new 3D shooting game for iPhone that puts players in control of various tanks on different battlefields as you try to score the most combat points. Tank Tigers places players in a 3D WWII setting with five different tanks to choose from and two modes of play – single and multi player. As a good multi-player WiFi or bluetooth compatible game is always appreciated, the multi-player aspect of Tank Tigers is what lends to its intrigue and though it isn’t a great game, it doesn’t tank altogether either. Game play is simple. Using the on screen driving controls to the left, players control their selected tanks forward, sideways, and in reverse motion, while a turret control is seated neatly to the right. When your tank is in range of an opponent tank, simply press the “fire” button to deliver point-rendering firepower. You must wait until your fire meter recharges before taking aim at another tank, but the process of aim, fire, and recharge is fairly smooth and relatively quick. The only thing you have to watch out for is enemy fire from behind. The various tanks have different performance levels, which impacts their stability and ability to withstand firepower. Though Tank Tigers is fairly simple to understand, there are a few less-than-intuitive aspects to the game, such as no apparent way to pause or return to the menu during game play and the map selection screen is sometimes slow or unresponsive. To access new maps, you have to play single player mode beginning in Berlin and then you will unlock a new map. From the Map Select menu, spin the globe until the selected location, marked by a dot, is highlighted. To view the map tap the down arrow. The multi-player aspect of Tank Tigers is by far its best feature. You can play with up to four other players with a bluetooth connection and up to 16 over WiFi. Setting up multi-player is pretty quick and you can select from different time limits – up to 10 – in the settings menu. I love games with multi-player ability over WiFi, so the fact that Tank Tigers includes this option gives it bonus points in my book. The only major gripe I have is the inclination of tanks to respawn directly behind another one. Granted, the maps aren’t that big and the more players on the map, the higher the likelihood it will happen, but it’s still annoying. Overall, Tank Tigers provides a fair amount of third-person shooter fun in the form of a classic tank game. The price may be a bit steep in comparison to the overall value, but it does venture into the multi-player arena in a fun, simple way. I would recommend keeping an eye out for a price drop unless you’re a diehard tank lover and just can’t wait. An added bonus is the promise of more maps, and possibly tanks, to come. rating: 7/10 app_name: Tank Tigers © AppCraver , 2009. | Tank Tigers Offers Multi-Player iPhone Fun | Get our iPhone Reviews on Facebook & Twitter !
