iPhone Games Reviews. Posted on: March 14, 2009
War is hell so it's time for some shore leave! Don't stop for Anything as you blaze through enenmy territory in your souped up armoured personnel carrier. Nothing and nobody will stand in your way to have a good time!
GI Joyride could have easily been a mini game on one of the more recent PS3 war themed releases, and it’d be a good fit. It doesn’t necessarily equate to the all mighty PS3 and 36o graphics but for the iPhone, this is pretty damn good.
On booting up the game you are presented with suitably wartime-style swing music and, as with all war games of this era, the dirtied up dossier menu system. A quick tap of start and you’re off. The level starts with you landing on the beach, and you must immediately step on the gas by touching the right side of the screen. Stay stationary too long and you’ll be targeted and blown to smithereens, so it’s a good idea to get a move on. You’ll gain momentum pretty quickly, and from then on it’s a case of keeping your ATC level over jumps and bumps via tilt. Tilt your iPhone right to lower the front and left to raise it up, or wheelie.

The game is a very strong first offering and for the $2.99 price tag. Once you get the hang it, you’ll just want to keep playing. We liked Scoops and Kyper as pick and play games, don’t get us wrong, but GI Joyride offers something deeper and more complex design wise.
