I didn't know the iphone was this powerful.

.........and this game is the reason I am now excited about the iphone, check out the video.

I am shocked, delighted and excited as a gamer to see what the iphone can really do, up until now I thought the iphone needed to have buttons, and because of that I didn't take the iphone seriously as a gaming machine, but this game really shows the true potential of the iphone and proves to me the iphone is a capable gaming device all it needs now is for the games to come, which are coming.

I was itching to buy a portable gaming device, so I bought a DS earlier this year, my first hand-held gaming system, and I haven't bought a Nintendo product since the NES, but the DS wasn't for me, I was also thinking about buying a sony psp, but it doesn't seem to have enough games, so I held out, but after seeing this game for the iphone and finding out the iphone is more powerful than the sony psp, I just might go buy an iphone or an ipod touch.

 

Excellent Job Apple!

Though, TBH I find it difficult to buy one and then game on it considering the thought of dropping such an expensive piece of tomato is a really nasty thought and I'd probably do that if I gamed on it. I'll probably have to wait for the Apple clone which is cheaper.



Tease.

sooo. is it as powerful as a wii or something?
because there are psp games ported to wii

 You got a point, but that won't stop me from buying one.



I doubt its more powerful than the PSP.
But it is good for games, its just not a competitor on the gaming market yet.

Wait for next gen when there is the apple iGame

The lack of buttons means I find it difficult to play most kind of games on them; I mean some people complain at the lack of a second analogue stick on the PSP, but this thing has effectively no buttons to assist gaming... And I also don't really like the lack of response when you use the touch screen as in game buttons.
