A Gaming Diary
Arodius (iPhone)
Christ, this is dull. It’s a twin-stick shooter with lovely controls and nice, bright graphical style, but every level is just a few waves of uninteresting enemies, followed by a big version of one or two of those enemies. Then every six levels or so there’s a boss fight, which is a bit more interesting, but not much.
The thing is, there might be a good game here. If higher difficulties through more enemies and bullets at you, it might get a lot more fun. Trouble is, those are locked until Easy mode is completed. I’m really not sure I can be bothered to continue. It’s not like I’m short of games to play.
The only other notable thing about the game is that Apple seem to think that it’s for over-seventeens only. I’m not quite sure why, unless it’s because there are fantasy women in small amount of clothing on some screens.
Maybe there’s some some incredibly rude action shots later in the game, but somehow I doubt it. I think it’s just weird American prudishness rearing its ugly head again.
