iPhone App: Daisy Mae’s Alien Buffet
= 3 stars
Help Daisy Mae fend off an alien invasion with a variety of weapons, including: sexy poses.
The Good
- Familiar dual controls, movement on the left and firing on the right, plus options for different setups. The “button shoot” mode makes for easy gameplay: just hold the shoot button and Daisy’s guns automatically aim at enemies.
- Cartoony, 3D graphics, loosely resembling the old arcade game Smash TV, plus a grainy, B-movie film effect. The silly aliens recall Mars Attacks.
The Bad
- Awkward details, specifically the aliens move in predictably similar ways (right toward you), controlling Daisy is a little difficult, and things can get frustratingly, suddenly difficult. You think you’re kicking ass one moment only to die seconds later.
- The sexy trailer chick aesthetic may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The ridiculously leggy Daisy sports cut-off jean shorts and a tight T-shirt, plus the “smart bomb” that destroys all aliens nearby involves Daisy striking a sexy pose. Your bonuses for killing tons of aliens are different outfits for Daisy to wear — I have unlocked the leopard print bikini; my life is so complete.
Conclusion
Decent game, but unless you’re particularly enamored with the sexy babe aesthetic, there are better dual-joystic games, namely, iDracula or Meteor Blitz. I won’t be spending more time on this one.
