Quick Review – Snowboarding TnT for the iPhone iPod/Touch
Dec 4, 2009 ipod, mobile, phones
The other solar day I posted on ‘Snowboading TnT’, which has been re-released with some whizzy new motion-perception (accelerometer) computer code in it, to shuffling the most out of the mobile.html’ title=’Gameloft bringing Avatar to Mobile’>game. Well, I’ve had some metre to play it now (I of the benefits of being an insomniac – you wealthy person tons of time to swordplay-run games!), and I have to say I like it!
Now S-trinitrotoluene isn’t I of those games that you’ll spend hours and hours on – at least I don’t think so – but I do think it volition serve brilliantly as a layover-gap when you’ve got say 10-60 mins spare, and wishing a biz that will hook shot you, and get you playing with a mixture of racing, tricks, and tactics!
The downhill constituent of the snowboarding is much like any other biz – start at the top of the mound, then race to the merchantman (in this case it’s against the clock). You could even argue the breaker point about doing tricks off jumps is like MANY other games out there – but I say when it ain’t broke, wherefore localisation it? The ace that this game holds though, is that you probably haven’t seen smooth fasting graphics like these on too many other mobile earpiece platforms – in my view its like playing a late PS1 / early PS2 game, and obviously the restraint of the accelerometer/touch control system helps things along.
Speaking of the touch control, it’s not used for too much – mainly just your crouching, ready to explode of a incline and pull some tricks (which incidentally ar controlled by the move of the twist itself, as is the steerage). But that’s probably the right field combination of controls for a game like this.
Things I would like to have seen in the biz ar clearer markings of where the run goes – because sometimes it’s easy to veer of course of action and slap a tree diagram or other obstacle. However, boilers suit, this biz is a great laugh, and fountainhead worth it’s current price of $0.99 / Ј0.59. Grab it piece you can from the App Store!
Overall evaluation: A- (lost a few marks for the lack of clear course markings occasionally)
