iPhone App: iFighter Lite

= 3 stars
Navigate a fighter plane through a battlefield, shooting down everything enemy-related.
The Good
- Essentially a 1942 clone using the iPhone’s tilt controls to maneuver your plane, including majority of the extras — shooting all the orange planes in a squadron to get a bonus, different weapons, and smaller wingman planes that fly alongside you and add firepower.
- While the gameplay is decidedly retro, the detailed graphics aren’t. The scrolling backgrounds in particular look great on the iPhone screen.
The Bad
- Your plane fires automatically at all times. I know in many games of this style you can get by through holding the fire button down, but it would be cool to have some control over firing so you’re doing a little more than flying and hitting the bomb button.
Conclusion
Already tempted to get the full version. Recommended.
