Terrible controls
M A 4
I wanted to love this classic, but the controls are sluggish, imprecise and awful. And then you die without any idea what you were supposed to do differently. All you know is you'll have to watch a 10-second non-skippable death cutscene, before you can have 2 seconds of play and die again. You won't even live long enough to figure out how to steer. Not fun.
I WANT MY MONEY BACK
TheDoctorandTARDIS
This game, obviously designed for PCs and consoles, is NOT made for mobile devices. It could absolutely be redesigned for a phone or tablet, but isn't. It's clear this game was hard on it's original players, but due to the awful controls on handheld devices it is impossible on all levels of the word. It is a disgrace to the original game an the developers and should be removed from the App Store until it is revised and all purchases should be refunded.
Sound issue
schizm88
So I recently purchased an iPhone 5s and an iPad air 2 and discovered that this game on both has a sound issue. When I play it on my iPod 4g there is no issue but on the other two devices certain sounds are played slower than they should be, thus making them sound like slow motion. For instance the beast in the beginning, after he chases you to the vine his growl is slowed down and deeply guttural, and then when you are in the cage, the guard starts shooting up and his voice is off, slowed down, as well as what your partner says when he taps you on the shoulder immediately after breaking free. His voice is not the same at all and he doesn’t even finish saying what he’s supposed to say because it’s so slowed down. the laser shots are completely off, especially the super shot. Essentially the sound is really screwed up. I saved version 1.2 and when i play that on my iPod 4g no sound issue, but no matter what version I play now on my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 the sound is completely screwed up. Really love this game and hope to have the issue resolved soon. Other than that it is a great game
Horrible touchscreen controls, great translation of classic
TheKingOfCam
The touchscreen controls must be fixed. Update the app with a control fix. The touchscreen controls do not work in any sort of acceptably playable manner. Maybe the devs need to make onscreen buttons not an option but the only choice. I'm not sure. Either that or make the touchscreen controls more obvious and user friendly. There's no reason for the character to turn around half the time, yet it will turn backward wth no warning. BUT if you choose buttons for control, it's pretty close to the original. The look and feel of the app really are true to the original game. The buttons took about a half an hour to get used to them. Once I got used to it, I found that most of the old twists and turns from the game came back to me like riding a bicycle. It was quite a joy to play through the ale again after so many years. Bravo to the team behind the translation to newer formats. Really well done. Just fix those darned touchscreen controls! :P
amazing port... But...WHERE IS THE MUSIC?!
Mrspicolli
Seriously guys you make a wonderful port of a great classic game…. Although I don't think it would be unreasonable that you included the follow up, heart of the alien with it… But you left out one critical classic element… There is not one drop of the original in game music in this sport… You guys really need to add that or you are depriving people of the experience of a classic game…. And would it really be so hard to also port heart of the alien with this package?… It is an anniversary edition after all, where are the special features? Where is the awesomeness worthy of calling it an anniversary edition?
Great game! just a classic

I'm a huge fan ... it brings back good memories. I used to play it on my PC back in the 90's.
Broken DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY UNTIL FIXED
tomarcato
This is one of the coolest games in my childhood. Harrowing. Beautifully made. Ahead of its time. But the controls are completely broken and trying to get past certain areas can be basically impossible. Either fix the controls or update it so that the character comes back closer to the point where he dies. It's totally frustrating to see this masterpiece sitting in my iPhone because I KNOW I can't get past some stupid jumpy sections and even if I do and die immediately after I'll go back to the start. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY UNTIL FIXED

PLEASE FIX BUG @ Palace
poplar
This game is a great redo of an old classic. I appreciate the subtle updates in detail, and the controls aren't terrible when you switch them from the touch controls. However I encountered a bug in the palace level where you take two teleporters down to disable a power source (after killing one guy) to supposedly blow a hole in the floor of the stained glass room (with a staircase, and people are shooting at you). The hole in the floor does not appear, but flashes red with the gunshots.
