Seriously, in terms of controls, touch anywhere cannot be beaten for an action game. Anywhere you place your thumbs is the dpad and you tap to shoot. It cannot get better.

I'd say 9...it's touch anywhere so controlling is a breeze. You just put your thumbs down and drag the way you want to go, controls great. How are the controls a 4?

Some of the others might as well be on rails the way they guide you through levels. And what are a few of the other 3rd-person shooters that you consider better on the iPhone/Touch?

I just never quite gave it a chance. I enjoyed the challenges in Asphalt and the online competition with Fast & Furious. You're probably right. I just never quite gave it a chance.

They're abit odd at first but once you get used to it, they really seem quite natural. Controls have been a weakspot on the iPhone/Touch but I think this layout is about as ideal as you can get for this game and a touchscreen. Well, obviously I mean relative to the platform.

Poor wording on my part. Yeah, I meant I would pay $10 for it, not that the new episode would cost anything. Poor wording on my part.

Controls are pretty good, but at times it gets tough when you're covering up the screen or if your fingers slip off. Well worth $.99 IMO, it's got some legs to it.

If you have an extra buck to spend go ahead and buy it, if not there's not much to miss.
