Definitely needs a price drop to $1.99 or maybe $2.99. The game's not bad, but it really does feel like a slideshow, which detracts from gameplay.

It was really funny when the one tank rolled right up to the other tank and delivered a distintegrating shot from inches away. Not recommended in a real tank battle. In some ways, it looks like fun, but the controls look unwieldy to use. I wonder if you can hide the tank underwater to wait for the enemy to come by and then blast the heck out of him. I noticed the tank fired at a truck that was quite a distance away. Does the cannon fire a shell in an arc or is it straight line only?

I played the Pocket PC version and am skipping this one based on that. It isn't terrible, but it certainly isn't a $10 purchase.

So glad I read this review before buying. It looks and sounds cool on the store, but I just tried the online version, and I'm not impressed either.

I don't mind that the tank is hard to control — I think it should be. A REAL tank would be quite a task. What I hate is the non-moving terrain, and the overall play. I was bored pretty quickly, and I think I would have been pissed if I had paid $10 for this.

Right, because they want you to get more than 15 min. out of the battery before it craps out! Seriously, I can't wait to see how long playtime will be on a Quake III- engine game, before we get the low-battery warning. Sega says this thing has as much muscle as a Dreamcast… And I assume that remark, from a developers perspective, means that it's how much power they have to PLAY with. Outside of gaming, if you want to see a "killer app", it's got to be "BeatMaker". Like Frootyloops for the iPhone.

Unfortunately Apple has gimped access to the iPhone's GPU and we may never see what it is capable of. Developers don't have access to all the clipping planes, vertex shader or full screen anti-aliasing that the GPU is capable of.

YES!! I used to spend so many hours on Spectre Supreme on our old Mac clone. Good times on the Spectre, bad times on the clone.
