iBASEjump

Pretty good

thank you for allowing me to waste money on this garbage that is absolutely nothing even remotely close the BASE jumping.

I own all of the skydive / base jump games for the ipod touch. This game in particular looks horrible. I am a game developer and I know what the ipod touch is capable of displaying. I am not just someone talking beyond my knowledge. The natural textures look awful. In fact, sometimes I have no clue what I am looking at. It almost looks like you are jumping in a room with blobby green textures supposed to be the landscape. Terrible. I am giving it 2 stars because I love the effort of having 14 different locations, even if these locations look so terrible. The Sears tower is OK, that's about it. I also have a big problem with the gameplay. The controls are bad. Up and down arrows on both sides of the screen which don't feel natural at all. A lot of games force the accelerometer on you because it's there, but this is a game where the accelerometer could have been put to much better use. I would also like to see a 3rd person option. I have PURCHASED over 400 games for my ipod touch, and this is one of the very few times that I felt regret, like I was fooled into something. Unfortunately, I am not sure that this game can be fixed in one or two updates...may take 4 or 5 VERY STRONG updates. Sorry Sea Venture, I really wanted to like this one!!! You picked some really cool locations!
