I was really excited to see one of the best  FPS (first person shooter) games for consoles and PC in the app store. Of course the first thing I wanted to know is how well did the controls work on the iPhone and was it worth the £5.99. When I downloaded it there were few reviews in the App Store on the iPhone the game is ranking 3.5 Stars out of 5 and the site I found it on just announced it’s release and did actually review the game play. The download is pretty big (81.6MB) so it takes a few minutes to install even over wifi. I later found some reviews in iTunes on my computer about a problem I was having. Now, on to the review. The controls are pretty sweet. There’s like a touchpad on the left for forward back and strafe. Just swipe up, down, left or right to look around and there is a button in the bottom right to shoot. It was pretty glitchy for me but it seemed to be smooth for a few seconds, then glitchy, then smooth.
