iPhone App: Waterslide Extreme
July 27th, 2009

= 3 stars
Ride a ridiculously huge, twisting water slide through a cityscape. A tie-in to a recent Barclay’s smart card commercial.
The Good
- Decently simulates a water slide experience. Tilt the iPhone left or right to bank in either direction. Avoid crabs which slow you down and pick up green diamonds for points.
- Options to change gender (big plus for that one) and camera placement.
The Bad
- More simulation than game, and without enough variety, ends up not moving past novelty.
- Depending on how cynical you are, the advertising tie-in may hamper enjoyment of this app.
Conclusion
Provides the entertainment it promises and little else – harmless entertainment while you stand in line at the ATM. Best of all: it’s free.
