I'm with you. I'm not sure I'm sold on the controls, but the graphics and overall "fun factor" of seeing those little trucks in action will probably still make me cough up the cash.
Read about four posts back, nuggetsman, and you'll see that I mentioned that they now have a countdown clock on their official website for the iphone release. Looks like it will be out next Monday.
Well, now I'm really anticipating Monster Trucks Nitro. If you type it in an iTunes search it's showing up "unavailable"!!!!!!!!!!!! At the very least I'd say this means it's been approved!
Awesome! But I think their site that it will be out Monday. But then, they could pull a Metal Gear Solid and come out early.
Imagine this game with a different camera view through the windshield. It would be a blast going around the loop!
They know we're anticipating this, it's approved, why oh lord why make me wait until Monday????????????? Please, release this NOW!
Yeah, anecdotal evidence has shown that developers really don't have any control over when games get pushed to the app store. If they did, Konami wouldn't have told everyone that Metal Gear was coming out on the 19th, then have it slip out late at night a few days earlier.
I agree...and Monster Truck Nitro wouldn't have been announced as early as it was. Who knows, it could be out as soon as tomorrow. Btw, nice reviews. I've been reading them and they're thorough and fair.
Have you played both games? Which is more fun? From youtube clips, it looks like Trials 2 is a lot more fun than this one. Wish they'd port that one instead.
Trials 2 is fun, but it's really difficult. Close to Bike or Die difficult. I have never played MTN, but it doesn't look nearly as hard as Trials 2.
I have tried MTN and it's really easy. It's not really soft-body physics like Jelly Car. I haven't play GI joyride but from the video it looks more like that. It's nowhere as hard as BoD. I don't like BoD not because of the difficulty but because of the overall look&feel, the style, the music, etc. So if Trials 2 come to iPhone, I'm more than happy to try it.
It really is quite stupid to wait to release it if it is already approved, I have it showing up in the auto-fill on my device as well. They even say it will be released as soon as it is approved, so why have a countdown timer and prolong the release if it is already approved Makes absolutely no sense... http://www.monstertrucksnitro.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=63:iphone-version-of-the-game-coming-very-soon&catid=1:news
