Apparently they ported ROTT to the iPhone OS. I hadn't heard anything about it until just now when I chanced across it, and apparently it uses the same or similar controls as the DN3D port, which isn't a good thing. ROTT's a much simpler game then Duke Nukem and I'm sure they could have simplified the controls in a much more efficient way, or changed them around.

I remember playing Terminator Salvation (the 3rd person shooter on the iPhone), and the controls suited perfectly; you used the circle thingy to move (can't remember the name lol), swiped the screen to look around, and had a dedicated button for fire, it was a very good system that would work even for 1st person shooter games. It's a real shame these games keep getting held back by their controls.

I bought Duke 3D for my ipod and couldn't help feeling like I wasted my money
When I saw ROTT, I got excited, but then ultimately decided no for fear of bad controls.
Doom has the best controls I've experienced so far.

I got to play it on a friends iphone, the controls are horrible but not as bad a Duke 3d's. Also they apparently updated the controls but i don't know how much they were improved.

Let's just hope they don't try to port Manhattan Project to the iPhone

See, I come from that time when phones were for having brief conversations with people, and they actually rang, and they didnt have screens.


I know, its weird. I purposely keep my phone basic.

If you want to play games, get a portable game system. It just seems so stupid to do that.

Iphones aren't bad, they are like an MP3 and Phone in one, but playing games on it sucks.
