8 of 25Every time you play for more than five minutes the thing crashes. I wasted my money on this app.
For a free game, the details and the experience are amazing and a lot of fun! Control is simple. There are few real problems I have. When the game glitches, the glider can just crash for no reason, even when nowhere near a crash surface. When the game needs to load, action can just freeze. This freeze can also result in a crash of the glider, making certain missions that require loads very frustrating. The isle of friends and underneath the oasis spring to mind. Sometimes, the tilt-sensors of the game can be glitchy, leading one into an all too sudden nosedive if one doesn't pay attention to one's calibrations. The touch sensor around the calibration menu can be fairly off as well. HOWEVER, do not let these issues deter you from trying this game! It is beautifully rendered and takes great advantage of the HD capabilities of the IPad. It is extremely fun, and I can't wait for the next update!
This is a GREAT game. I love it! Except the bugs. I HATE the bugs. Like when I try to take off from most platforms on Arctasia, I just crash into the grid below it. And going through the tunnels. The allowed area is too small. But when it works, it's a GREAT game.
For some reasons, the game works again, after weeks of constant crashes at start-up. Back to 5 stars for great graphics, control and fun! It is my favorite game on the iPad!
I loved this game it's so fun but you really have to fix the bugs! I can't get past the loading screen plz fix it. Fast
I don't know what everyone is talking about, I loved this game! The graphics were great and it was challenging! Alot of fun!! Should be a game on Wii or PS3. The only thing is, it would kick me off when I wanted to chose a place to go..I would just go back on. Small sacrifice for such beautiful graphics! :) I do have it on my iPad, so maybe there's a difference.
i have the ipod version of this and its amazing i love it so i thought this version would be even better but it wont stop crashing after it finishes loading!!!!!!
This is the second game I have purchased for the IPad. I was very dissapointed with what appears to be a glitchy, unplayable experience. The controls and visuals are awesome. There is definetly a sense of flight. However, that is where the positive points end. You have to fly close to objects to pick them up. In order to complete the game, you must collect all the colored gems. However, this is impossible because no object that is close to the "ground" can be picked up without crashing. You can see the object, you can fly right up to it, but you cannot pick it up. I tried 20+ times to collect the same object on a ledge, and either flew extremly close without picking it up, or crashed. Sometimes, you crash into nothing immediately upon takeoff. At first, I thought it was just a learning curve, but after a few days and many hours I've come to realize that this is a serious flaw in the gameplay. What this means is you cannot finish the game. You cannot collect any of the wings, outfits, or objects unless you purchase them. If your goal is to just glide around, then you will have fun. If you want gameplay, look elsewhere.
