App Review – “Chopper 2″
Chopper 2, a game by Majic Jungle Software, is the sequel to the very popular side scrolling game “Chopper”. Tons of improvements were made and the game now features stunning 3D graphics as well as new enemies, weapons and obstacles. Chopper 2 also offers a unique experience to people who own both an iPad and an iPhone as you are able to use the iPhone as a remote control for the game on the iPad.
The object of the game, like in Chopper 1, is to fly your helicopter over various landscapes, shooting down enemies and saving civilians as well as completing various other assigned missions. For weapons, your chopper is equipped with 8 bombs, 8 missiles and a machine gun with unlimited ammo. You are able to pick up ammunition and repair you ride in-mission at repair pads scattered over the landscape. Your enemies include soldiers, tanks, turrets, choppers that fire endless streams of bullets and missiles at you. But that isn’t all, a new obstacle was added to the game, birds. Large flocks of birds fly around during battle and cause massive damage to your copter if the the two collide.
This game has 36 different missions that take place over 12 different landscapes. There are 4 different main locations: Desert, Forest, Snow and City, and for each location there are 3 landscapes. Now at first this may not seem like very many levels but the truth is that this game is so insanely difficult that it takes a very long time to complete all those missions. Based on personal experience, some of the levels can take dozens and dozens of tries to successfully complete and sometimes that can add up to a couple hours, just for 1 level! Oh and did I mention that that is on the easiest game setting, “Normal mode”. I didn’t even bother trying on expert.
The remote control feature in this game is very unique and amazing although unfortunately only people with both and iPhone and an iPad can experience it. The way it works is you connect the two devices over bluetooth and then use the iPhone to control the action on the iPad. This is great not only because the game looks amazing on the iPad but also because playing the game directly on the iPad can be a little awkward. But this feature doesn’t stop there, if you own a special cable you can hook your iPad up to your TV and play Chopper 2 on the big screen.
Overall, Chopper 2 is a really fun game with good graphics, sound and gameplay. The only real downside is the level of difficulty. For the price of 2.99 this game is a must buy for people who own both and iPad and an iPhone or anyone else who think they would like this type of game.

App Review – “Repeat”
The classic game of “Simon” or “Simon Says” is a memory testing game in which you have to repeat a sequence of colors (usually the colors red, blue, green and yellow) chosen randomly by Simon. With each correct answer, the sequence gets longer and more difficult. While dozens of “Simon” games exist in the app store, most of them are exactly the same. “Repeat”, a game by Francis Bonnin, takes the general Simon concept and takes it to the next level by adding tons of customizable features as well as a multiplayer option.
The goal of the game is to repeat the ever growing sound/color sequences that you are shown. In the original game, there are four possible choices/buttons in the patterns, but in Repeat you can choose anywhere from 2-8 buttons, depending on the level of difficulty you want. It is also possible to customize the sequence, meaning the order in which you must repeat the pattern. For instance, if you set the sequence to reversed, then you have to repeat Simon’s pattern in reverse order, making it even more challenging. With many different types of sequences to choose from, a whole new dimension is added to the game. Along with these customizable options more, the game features a multiplayer mode as well as online challenges that are updated daily.
Repeat does have some drawbacks, namely the sound quality and the graphics. During the game, the noises 
made by the different buttons aren’t exactly beautiful and can become annoying very quickly. Also, the graphics in this game are nothing special and for the most part are pretty boring. That being said, in a game like this graphics are not really too important.
Overall, this game is pretty good, and probably the best of its kind due to its numerous features that present countless different challenges. I would recommend this game to anyone looking for a Simon game to pass the time or to improve memory skills. However, for those not willing to pay the 1$, there are several free Simon games in the app store that aren’t bad.
