    Has anyone got cloud saves to work between iPad and iPhone?? I have not been able to get it to work?? Can anyone help?

    I have played a lot on iPad mini but graphics are pants, on my 5s they are much better and I have a HDMI cable for tv!

    Any suggestions?

    I'm glad i don't have to make that choice which one is better or not but while i agree that Bioshock is better on consoles i disagree about Stranger being better there.I play that with a controller and it plays just like the console game but with a huge increase in visuals (bioshock is a dicrease and the athmosphere lives also from the stunning graphics),a better game difficulty (saving everywhere,more difficulty options)and since the last update even with a distance slider for the 3rd person view (i always found the cam to far away in the past).Imo the iOS version is the best Stranger you can get.

    I agree with this, assuming you have an iPad and a controller. On an iPhone, or without a controller, I'd still say it's inferior to playing it on console. But that depends on how well you get along with small screens or touch controls I suppose.

    Yep,that's why i said"with a controller".Can't see myself playing this with the touchscreen,no matter which device.That counts for every (somewhat) 1st person shooter on ios.

    ^Then your claims as to which is the better version is a moot point. The game was ported to a TOUCH device. The MFi controller is an added option.

    Claiming the port to be better than the original with a huge condition of having a controller which the majority of iOS users dont have access to doesnt sound like a viable review.

    Those said though, im sure youre right about a better experience with a controller, and i really want one but i dont have access to anything in the PH unless i pay about $160 for a controller. GG

    Fair enough,but i already enhanced my statement twice with"using a controller"though.

    Well,finally all that matters for me is that i can experience the best version ;-)

    I have both Bioshock and Stranger, not really replying to anyone specific but I'd like to weigh in on this. Personally, I think Stranger feels like a much better port. The ability to resize and move the controls anywhere on the screen alone makes a huge difference. And while you could argue that bioshock is a more complicated game, when you think about it it's probably the other way around because stranger juggles first and third person modes, with essentially two weapons during first-person sections. Meanwhile, Bioshock has the equivalent of a two-weapon FPS for it's entirety, But it manages to make its controls a lot less intuitive and more complicated. That said, I haven't played Bioshock all the way through yet so I'm loving the atmosphere and story more than Stranger's (though Stranger is still good in this category). But as far as port quality, Stranger all the way.

    If I pause the game I gets load f options to load and save etc, but I can't see the button you mention? I can load a game and there is a little cloud button but I still can't load up my iPad game in my phone?

    Oh you have VERY unique (alive) projectiles in Stranger,don't worry ;)

    You can use 2 at once with your crossbow although there are no spells like in Bioshock.You can also do a lot of melee damage in 3rd person view.If you are slighlty interested in a unique (1st person) shooter (but not only) you can't go wrong with this one.It's also quite long (roundabout 13-15 hours i guess) and varied.

    check this for the ammo

    I should have known better. Control of the character is near impossible when in a platformer situation. Can't even get the character facing accurately. Couldn't even get past the first obstacle on the way to town. I'm not going to punish myself when I know it is the game and not me that is the problem. 400 yen down the drain. Deleted.

    not sure if it's on these terms but you can get a refund. There's a link in your receipt from apple.

    I know but lately in the Japanese App Store that refund option is gone. Now we can just report problems. I don't know why it has changed.

    Maybe you just weren't that good at the game. My buddies and I haven't had a problem yet.
