Overall a decent game, but because of its high price and the availability of a free version, I can't recommend it.

This game is essentially the same as its mac and PC counterparts; you try to rack up more points than your opponent by controlling your shot power and angle and shooting them. The game doesn't look or feel as smooth as it does on a computer. For example, certain explosion types cause significant drops in frame rate, and the game constantly zooms in on your tank so you are forced to adjust your view before every shot. These things are annoying, but they don't significantly detract from the gameplay, which is fun as always. While there are no glaring faults with the game, there is nothing to keep your interest for very long. And with a $5 price tag, you will be left expecting more. In conclusion, I think $5 for this game is simply asking too much. I suggest downloading the free version of this game (your only loss will be access to certain weapons) unless you absolutely have to have every weapon in the game.
