this is the culprit i'm sure. god. damn. ios5. ruining ios gaming since... since it was released. and no that wasn't sarcasm. i'm sure developers are annoyed at "optimizing the game". actually i'm a bit bothered that you start up the game and it tells you to upgrade to ios5. really Epic?
Yes, but I believe the point of the prior informative posts is that it should look much better on the ipad2 as it now is purportedly mistakenly using ipad1 graphical assets, whereas the ipad1 is crashing trying to use ipad2 assets.
Apparently it works fine if you're on iOS 5.0.0, but is messed up on 5.0.1. So, while I do wish Epic/Chair worked this bug out earlier, I can see how they missed it. So bitter right now... its ironic, because I only upgraded because of the start-up message prompting players to upgrade to iOS 5... and now its the reason it won't work.
Started playing this game on my iPod Touch 3G firmware 4.3.5, and it is amazing. I was originally going to skip this release because I expected extreme lag or terribly downgraded visuals on my "out-of-date" device. However, Chair ha s somehow optimized the game to exceed my expectations in both departments. I was not a fan of the first game, but this time around Chair has somehow made the game so playable on third generation devices that it is impossible not to love. iPhone 3GS users, go get the game now!
It doesn't show up for me, had to go to the US store to download. Edit: Never mind it's working now /facepalm
