Giant Leap iPhone App Review

Description:

As a hero in Giant Leap, you are a lone marine who has a convenient case of amnesia.  With all the marine and scientist buddies killed in a freak alien attack, you are forced to wander the bloody halls of a ship fighting of tons of Xoranid killers while trying to get your lost memories back.  As you play the questions that are asked are answered, such as What happened to the ship and are there any survivors?  The question of how you lost your memory is also answered.  While there are a lot of cliches, you will find that the game play in Giant Leap is quite fun and enjoyable.

Each level consists of alien killing and finding the green glowing circles to advance to the next level.  While this sounds easy, it most definitely is not.  One of the main reasons the game is so difficult is because there are no save points.  This mean if you play for 10 minutes on a level, you would have to start over from the very beginning.  The control design is also a bit frustrating.  To move around you tap on the map,and to attack you tap on an enemy.  This can get very frustrating because the game thinks you are tapping the map when you are in reality trying to tap an enemy to kill it. With the control issues put aside, Giant leap is a great game to play if you have some time to burn.  It has tons of levels to mess around in and there are plenty of weapons to keep you very interested in game play.  On the flip side, the game used to be way too expensive for the type of experience you get out of it.  Thankfully they just lowered the price on the game, and with the new price i would absolutely say that the game is worth what you pay for it now and that its a great buy.

Features:

  • Story panels tell the story
  • Easy to maneuver controls
  • Lots of enemy killing
  • Score saver
  • Several levels and challenging game play

Overall this is a fantastic game for the money and one that will keep you busy for hours to come.  If you want a fun game that can keep you entertained for hours, this is the game for you.  This is a fun RPG with a fun story line to keep you interested
