Little depth, many bugs – Air Battle of Britain HD Lite Review

The positive reviews are quite puzzling. This is app is a little like "skies of glory" (that one is great but isn't ipad optimized), but this game really misses the mark. Visuals are ok. But, there are so many bugs. Buttons (for music and ratings for example) sometimes work sometimes don't. Many many controls are like that. Push a button, nothing happens. Also and importantly the throttle/engine sound doesn't change as you move it up or down (pathetic). Frankly it's hard to tell if your speed changes, can't hear it or feel it. Only the plane you target (even if surrounded by many others) can be hit. It doesn't appear that the planes next to it get hit. Often they clearly are the ones your gun is pointed at (or in front of). All the missions seem as if they are in fact the same despite the different script and historical text. That makes this game boring very fast, its really just point and shoot at one of two types of planes. No ground or sea targets either. The whole description is really misleading! It gets to be kind of a numb, repetitive feeling to the gameplay. Disappointing!! I could go on. I like ww2fight sims and there aren't enough of them. This has some promise, but it needs so much work I wouldn't buy it had I known.
