Pros and cons of BANG! the Official Video Game app for iPhone and iPad
BANG! the Official Video Game app good for
The game is fun an very interactive. Its a good mix of luck and strategy. Cant wait to get the extension and play online with other player!!
Awesome start but the sheriff is never me unless I set it. It is always the top left player in a 5 player game. great game, thanks!!
This game is great. I play the board game all the time with my friends. Only thing missing from this app is online play. If they could implement game center online invites then this game will definitely get 5 stars from me
This is a superb rendering of the card game. The card animations are fun and fit the functions of the cards. Im looking forward to the release of the rest of the expansions.
However... There is no way to save a game in progress! If a game has to be interrupted to launch another app on my iPod, then my game in progress is lost forever. This is a huge oversight in what is otherwise a great game.
Great game cant wait for online multi player and more characters
Ive been waiting for this game as an app for a while and I am impressed. Cant wait for the eventual addition of green cards, expansions, all characters and maybe the ability to have more than 5 players.
Improvements needed:
-In game menu with ability to see character abilities mid-game, accessibility to rules and option to save game. Nothing worse than having the app crash and losing your game.
Great game! Thanks so much for the iPhone adaptation. Worth every penny.
Some bad moments
I dont pay for apps that dont have to decency to have retina 4 display graphics. Will change review once this is fixed. Not acceptable.
Game play wise, its great. But overall the game feels incomplete. But still way more fun then UNO.
Update: With the new update some of the graphics in game appear to have retina display capabilities but most of the images/logos/backdrops dont. No new features notable features in the update either. A few new characters have been added, but since they dont have any special abilities, it doesnt quite matter :-/
Hopefully well see more progress soon. Its good to know theyre listening an working on finishing the game.
Although the game is beautiful and smooth Im afraid it still lacks some features.
- I need to be able to check the character powers at all times.
- The scrolling help text for each card is really not efficient, I need to be able to see what the cards do at a glance!
- Since the game is a bit complex, having the rules accessible from anywhere would be great too, for whenever we have a question about rules. Not everyone has played the original card game!
- When a character activates its ability, show it! Explain whats happening to the player!
- AI is a bit anti-player!
Since I love this game, I sincerely hope you will be able to fix these issues I have with the game! Ill come back and give you a 5-star rating if you do!
Great adaptation. But needs an update to fix problems mentioned in other reviews. More characters. Already in the game just not activated...
I bought this and recommended it for its online mode yet it is practically unplayable online since it constantly disconnects. I feel terrible for recommending the game to friends and family and we cant even play it together.
Near constant dropped games when playing online. Fix this or at least let us get back into the game we were playing. Until then, 2 stars for the single player. (note: the physical card game is awesome)
Constant disconnections. I can complete one game out of four before I get disconnected.
