Application Review 4

2009-05-13
hey guys what's up this is Duncan and here I am with my fourth application review which is a pretty cool as you see I've got a new intro and yeah I think I think it looks much better than the old one okay so let's get this one started with a really cool app called stick wars light now I'm sure everybody is saying it's been that paid at the top paid app and it's been high in the leaderboards for a while now I mean it's the paid version of this stick Wars and it's it's very cool um I really enjoy these kind of games but to be honest this light version almost does it I mean there it is limited slightly to 15 levels whereas the paid version you would have unlimited and it does have some minor things like not as many weapons and I mean just small things but in general this is a lot of fun I mean I really like it if you're unfamiliar with the way this works it's real simple you have your base and basically little stick men come running at you there are a couple of different games like it there's a defender castle which is off of the which it used to be.we where that's been brought over to iPhone and stick wars bicycle it is the little stickman they run across the field and basically you just gotta flick and smash and all kinds of fun stuff you could toss them away in the air and drop and kill them you can smash them down like smash them in the ground and then as time goes on you can capture them you can build a jail you can capture them and then train them to become archers there's all kinds of different things and it's a lot it's a lot of fun there's you can make them be bombers all kinds of stuff and one of the best kind of things that I really wish all iPhone apps had was the fact that there's autosave anytime literally you get a call on your iPhone or just you know you're done hit the home button or whatever it'll save it right that that second it really annoys me when I'm in the middle of a game and not have autosave you know you lose it so the fact that even this light version has it is really cool there's not a whole lot else it's a really simple application like I said he does have some ads and like I said it has 15 levels but for me anyway I might end up buying one of the some one of the paid apps but for right now this is more than enough for me so if you haven't checked out if you have to pay obviously you don't want to get this but you haven't checked out this kind of game might be interested actually definitely go for it the next up I'll be reviewing is a really cool one I've had this one for a while and it's called dropship dropship if you haven't heard it's a it's a really interesting really cool game basically you it's got some really nice wireframe graphics and I mean it's it's definitely really cool because it's just so unique I mean you won't see anything else like it it's it's 3d yeah it's just really basic and simple I mean it just looks just awesome basically the objective here is you're a little spaceship and you go through navigate the maze and you pick up different humans and then as soon as you pick them up there's also you pick up different boxes which are full of whatever um this is really cool just because one nice feature is that the all the humans have names yeah and dropship will actually go into your contacts and pick out names from your contacts so you'll be like saving you'll see like your friends names and stuff which is it's a small touch but it's pretty funny um basically you develop dictums real simple you just fly through the all kinds of different mazes some real simple you just go go down and uh and then there are enemy little uh I guess just artillery positions whatever just a little little almost like crystals that I'll be shooting at you generally and you can just shoot back now a long while the graphics on this are great I mean they really are just unique and one-of-a-kind the controls I'm tempted to say are better the controls are so great the way it works is that's real simple on your left in the right you put your wherever you put your thumb up as long as on the left and the right side that's where your controls be so it's not like you have to go on the bottom left to the bottom right it can be anywhere and you can move over basically any way you put your thumb down and move and I thought think that's just really really a good idea just because it's real simple you can I mean you don't ever have to worry about you know oh I'm gone whatever and like I said it's it's a little difficult because you have to like turn it and stuff because one the one is to navigation ship and one is to shoot and it can't get a little difficult but you'll let me quickly figure out how to work it it's a lot of fun there a lot I mean when I say a lot I mean there are a lot of different maps and stuff and there's also downloads which is pretty cool where basically you can download new maps that are available occasionally you download new maps and play them like there were back towards the holidays there were some special holiday Maps which were pretty cool there's like giant like Christmas tree which kind of fun dropship it's it's there's a full campaign mode there's then there's also a free play mode to where you can just go through different ones and nothing big deal it dropship I will say it's 99 cents at the moment and there's also a light version I got this before there was a light version so I have not tried the light version but from what I can tell it's it's pretty cool it's got a couple of levels I'd say go ahead and check out that light version if you if you think you like it go ahead go for the full version I know I like it a lot between the graph with just the awesome looking graphics and there are really cool controls it dropships definitely a really good one to get the last stop that I'll be reviewing today is a really really awesome on now if you watched a couple of videos back I mentioned I bought a bunch of new apps and this is one of them and so far it's probably my favorite one and it is called Sentinel Mars defense I gotta say this one is probably the no it's no it is the best tower defense game I've ever played okay um it combines some really cool fix some really good ideas like there are on the normal path which the enemies go by they're actually destructible defenses like there are barriers and if they break them then they'll keep on going but uh there's a lot of different really nice features to this and all of them add up to me just an awesome awesome app anyway so uh basically what it is it's the same same tried-and-true way of doing the tower defense games you've got the winding paths that lead to your base and you basically drop towers in there and you can upgrade them and basically just to stop them um now Sentinel is it's like I said it's got the destructible defences and there are also four different Maps and all of them are different some of them are some of them actually have like where the enemies we come in from to two places at once and you've got to defend them you've got all kinds of stuff there's four different I'm sorry six different towers that you can get if you unlock new maps new towers there's also two modes there's uh there's four difficulty levels I will say the the graphics on this are really good um I have actually been able to really slow it down but that was on the biggest field on one like level like 120 or whatever with like I had like 100 and something towers and it was like I mean just insane I'm at you couldn't watch there's like hundreds of enemies flying everywhere but beyond that it's pretty solid I really haven't seen no problems with glitches or lag it's been it's really really solid general there are not really a whole lot of problems with this application maybe maybe a couple more Maps would be nice but I mean honestly it's not really needed I mean the four that are included are all challenging they're all very unique different you won't you won't get you know you won't just go all these are boring it's really cool just because it's got such a cool when you first open it up it's got such a cool menu it's got like that's like you're standing on like the bridge of a ship you see like different like I guess it looks like surveillance cameras and then you see and then you have options through score and to play everything and then one really nice thing is that lets include most tower defense but not all is that the fact there's a continue we're just the same isn't dropship when you shut it off you can come straight back into the game keep on playing and some of the games get really long I mean you can go sixty different waves ninety a hundred I mean and then there's the mode where you could just go infinitely and just you know just see as long as you can go I mean I I will say it is in my it's right up there along with gout caught in my opinion there's also a light version and I've actually been playing lifers for a very long time and I've just now gotten the paid version and believe me I do not regret it at all it is only a $0.99 right now it's been five dollars for a very long time it's just now come down to 99 cents it's a special sale so everybody I definitely recommend go check out the light version and if you like it what you will it includes the very first map if you liked it go ahead pick up the full version I mean you will not regret it all if you like any kind of tower defense if you like to field runners or anything like that check out at least check out the light version
