It did nothing to convince me that I should be playing it more. It’s an okay time waster, but I just can’t get excited about it. I find lining up shots a bit fiddly and avoiding enemy fire is too hard, even now I’ve discovered strafing.

I know other people like it – and it’s not that I especially dislike it, myself – but, you know, the word that springs to mind is a simple, damning “meh”.

It’s 59p.

I’ve not played it much, but I like the controls and it seems like it could be fun.

Really, though, you know the iPhone has arrived as a proper gaming platform when you start up a new game and the first thing you think is, “Ooh, the water looks nice.”

I hope to have something more constructive to say later, when I’ve played some levels that don’t just teach me the controls by giving me static targets to take out.
