Another World - 20th App Reviews

I had heard about this game from WatchMojo ( thx mojo I love you!) and when I got a i tunes card I had bought it and just... WOW!! Yes it took lots of trys but thats the point (cough cough Pokemongo! Cough) I will DEFINITLY have a story to tell my grandchildren now :D thx!

One of my favorite games brought back to life in a much better way ---please please please make a part 2 , a sequel for this game!!!!

Had never played this before but really enjoyed it. Great concept--avoid dying by taking the proper actions. Fyi, if youre going through a lot of steps and its not saving, its because youre not doing the next proper step. So try something else. Enjoy!!

Too often the player must go through monotonous parts that involve running and jumping--moves that are at the mercy of inadequate, slow controls. If the developers still care to do it, I suggest they push an update that allows the player to save his progress manually, so he can avoid endless repetition of difficult and tedious tasks, such as the escape from the underground canyon. Thank you.

The sound is messed up after the ios8 update. This is a game made with real heart. Games are like Hollywood now, they spend too much time on special effects and graphics and not enough on character development. This one somehow does it with no talking. Love it. Dont cheat if youre a real gamer. This was an amazing game in the early 90s and its even better now with the graphics updates.

I cant even get passed the first part of the game their so bad

The rush of nostalgia I had when I learned of this re-release was enough to make me purchase it immediately. Right away I noticed the controls were far less responsive than the already clunky original but I wasnt completely discouraged. It doesnt take too long for things start to get more challenging then you realize more and more that this is definitely "not" how it use to be or should be. Lester even just barely jumps and certainly not on time like the original(which is crucial) Im sure the developers take pride in their excellent visuals and sound design but with a control system this horrible theyve managed to make and already tricky game 1000 times more frustrating. PS - I want to break my iPhone in half now..thanks. All in all the the graphic work and ambiance are incredible, but youll more than likely never get to see it all of it(or your moneys worth) by sheer flaw in design.

I ended the game in half hour!!! Make like a chapter 2 make it like remember the part when the guy that u use broke his legs make a chapeter 2 that like he cuts his legs and he created a mechanical legs ADD MORE WEAPONS add difrent clothes and that the guy that u use find in the planet that he goes with the dragon that he meets a girl and they married and have a son or a daughter create a chapter 2 like that or create the chapter 2 however you want JUST CREATE A CHAPTER 2! AND THAT IS LONGER!!!!!!!!!!! Plz

I played this game extensively years ago. The controls were tricky at first but it didn’t take long to get used to them. Great adaptation to iOS in my opinion. The graphics seem uniquely fit to an iPhone game. Very fun to play.

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 youll have to watch a 10-second non-skippable death cutscene, before you can have 2 seconds of play and die again. You wont even live long enough to figure out how to steer. Not fun.

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 isnt. Its clear this game was hard on its 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.

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

Please make part 2 "Heart of the Alien" or the classic game Flashback.

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. Im not sure. Either that or make the touchscreen controls more obvious and user friendly. Theres 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, its 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

Seriously guys you make a wonderful port of a great classic game…. Although I dont 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?

Im a huge fan ... it brings back good memories. I used to play it on my PC back in the 90s.

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. Its totally frustrating to see this masterpiece sitting in my iPhone because I KNOW I cant get past some stupid jumpy sections and even if I do and die immediately after Ill go back to the start. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY UNTIL FIXED

This game is a great redo of an old classic. I appreciate the subtle updates in detail, and the controls arent 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.

The whole game is gross and grimy. Even on the easiest setting you have to repeat yourself thousands of times while watching your character die horrible disgusting bloody deaths nonstop.

Generally I hate 2d sidescrollers without controller support but they got he controls right in this one. And it looks much better than the original. Played it start to finish fun the whole way. But it.
