Space Ace Reviews

Thought it was broken but needed reinstall

FrankieViturello

After updating the iOS to 4.3 the game as it was installed became unstable. But after deleting and re installing I can confirm it works perfectly again!!! HOORAY!

AWESOME and Great Controls !!!

Well, I have to copy/paste my Dragon's Lair review into this one, because they are both as good. "Don't know why anyone is complaining about the controls. They are dead on. This game is all about instinct and memorization. You can't wait for the screen to flash to input the command, you have to do it at the same time or before. Just memorize the path through trial and error. Also, I prefer the large controls option though. The graphics are excellent and the game's reaction to correct or missed inputs is surprisingly great. I remember that was a big problem in other incarnations that would deliver slowdown, but not here. This one is even better than it's Bluray counterpart, which I also have. I recommend this game to anyone. I have already beaten this (iPhone and Bluray) Dragon's Lair (iPhone and Bluray) and Dragon's Lair 2: Time Warp (Bluray) numerous times each and have come to a point where I can do it without dying, not even once. I still can't believe that I have this game on my iPhone. I've loved it since I saw Dragon's Lair and this when I was a little kid in 1984 and was blown away thinking how amazing it was to see a cartoon which I could control. The story and animation have stood the test of time and they are as great as ever. I can never get tired of this game. Now, where is my portable Dragon's Lair 2: Time Warp???"

Won't work for me

Right at the beginning maybe th 8th or 9th prompt doesn't register so it's a very short game for me. It seems that the game works fer others. It's been like this fer at least a year. Now I wanted to try it on iPad . And still not working. Bummed

Just like the arcade version in the 80s

Awesome game! Brings back memories of the arcades. Plays just like the original. The ones who have given bad reviews must have never played the original arcade game back in the day. If you are too young to know Space Ace before you buy it, then you're probably not going to like it. For the rest, it's cheaper than the jars of quarters spent years ago trying to finish the game.

Cool blast from the past

I wasn't even a newborn when this game originally released but I remember seeing it as a kid during the late '80s/early '90s in arcades but never played it. It's crazy how a couple decades later, you can play what used to be in a large cabinet right in your hands...on a phone no less! Needless to say this game is classic and fun - a different type of fun, mind you. It's about twitch gameplay pre-CoD and quick reaction time. Although you'll die a lot on the normal and hard difficulties, Space Ace can be beaten on easy mode in about 5-7 minutes so it's brief. I wish there was a "movie" mode where you could just watch the movie; that'd be cool.

Great video game

Lawofchaos

If you are like me, you go to the most critical reviews first to see what the game is really like. So, here is the deal...IT'S GREAT!!! Here are the only three critiques I have, and they are minor at that: First, Kimmy and Dexters exchange before the second scene -- i.e. "Kimberly, come in. Are you okay? Oh sure, I've just been kidnapped by aliens, that's all." -- is missing from the Captain and Space Ace levels. Please add it. Second, the third scene on the Captains level, I.e., the space station, the movements don't match the video. That is, you must go right even though the cartoon shows the passage is left. Finally, in the Borf control, you can tell that scenes were omitted or, in some instance, thrown together in a hodge-lodge fashion. For example, the scenes where Borf fires the cannon at Dexter were almost completely omitted, and the scene before the final battle shows Dexter and Kimmy dying before they magically appear on the final platform. Boiled to its essence, all but the rabid Space Ace fans will notice these minor imperfections. Everyone else will love it! --Scott

Good! Update please?

aliens8us

Just as good as you remember! Developers: please include with update to include Icade support for the authentic arcade experience! And maybe Portrait view as well!

Controls are horrible

Jacobwurz

I'm a fan if don bluth, but the controls for this game are horrendous. Waste of money.

NEEDS UPDATES!

Warigaki

Huge fan of the original laser disk games, but this one needs updates. Please add the ability to watch the movie after you beat the game, and the button flashes to Captain and Space Ace levels so children can play it! I also agree with the reviewer about Dexter and Kimberly's "I've been kidnapped by aliens..." conversation, please put it back in on the Captain and Space Ace levels.

:):):):):)

Awesome pie 2838

GREAT, but needs tuning, for one, its missing the movie option, and it cuts out Kimberly and dexters conversation on the way to the maze in captain and Ace mode, and I think it shows ace and kimmy dying when you choose the right path near the end of the game, fix these, and its an easy 5 for me :).
