iPhone App: iMech

= 4 stars
Kill or be killed in this multiplayer, first person action shooter where you control a walking robot that blows up robots piloted by other iPhone users.
The Good
- Familiar dual D-pad controls; movement on the left and firing on the right.
- Variety of weapons chosen by tapping icons at the bottom center. Choose from a machine gun, laser (hold down to increase power and release to fire), a flame thrower, and a highly destructive missile.
- 3D graphics, with your view from just behind your robot.
- Way cool demo of multiplayer gaming on the iPhone. Just enter a game and you’re fighting other iPhone users, somewhere, playing the same game. It worked flawlessly over WiFi and a 3G connection.
The Bad
- Could use more variety in terms of weapons or power-ups.
Conclusion
Fun multiplayer shoot-em up with the seamless multiplayer feature as the best part. The game itself needs a little more variety to earn that extra star.
[…] Would be nice to have multiplayer via the Internet, like iMech. […]
