How to Double the Life of Your iPhone 3G Battery

Those of us with iPhone 3Gs certainly know the pain and frustration of having no battery left. I misplaced my iPhone earlier, so I tried calling it. It didn't work, since the battery was dead. I wish I had a battery pack sitting on it all the time.

For this review lets start with the conclusion first -- I really like this game. I find this game to be fun, challenging and interesting.

I find its use of the accelerometer to be superb and I find the overall gameplay pulls you into the game even though it's not the kind of game that usually pulls you in so fully.





There are three modes for how one can control the device--

motion -- which uses the accelerometer,

swipe -- which uses finger swipes on the screen to control the plane, and

joypad- in which you move your finger around the screen as if you had a joystick.

In "motion" mode you are able to turn on auto fire which keeps your plane shooting nonstop.

In the other modes were with autofire turned off you tap the screen in order to fire.

All of the modes for controlling the plane work well but I have a clear preference for the motion approach since, among other things it uses the iPhone's uniqueness.



The game is basically a series of fire/bombing missions. You fly along shooting the enemy planes and installations on the ground. All the while you do your best to survive.

Toward the end of each round there is an extra special challenge which is harder than usual.

And along the way you have a variety of "power up" options. These allow you to rapid fire, spread fire or fly with additional planes for extra power.

The game is challenging, interesting and doesn't get boring. It can best be understood by watching it straight from a quick video --
