I am glad I never bought it, because it has not been able to run due to the "excuse" that there is a bug in iOS4 on iPhone 3g. The game launches, I see the title screen and it closes down again. Companies that release crappy coded games like motivate me to grab the game from The Bay instead of purchasing it. Thankfully that wont happen as my phone is a company phone and we are not allowed to jailbreak it. Well I got the game when it was free.

As an adult here's a short list of things that have limited 'replay value' and also cost more than this game. A cup of coffee. Going to a movie. Cover at most clubs. Buying any drink of any kind at most bars. Those microwavable instant indian food packets at Trader Joes. etc. Honestly, if there's any lesson to be learned here it's that developers shoot themselves in the foot by having sales because it [a] encourages people to wait for sales and [b] winds up a portion of the user base that didn't wait for the sale.

Universal should be the way forward. In my eyes, Apple should enforce it for games already in the store. Sorry Devs, but unless you implement a save/progress sharing scheme like warp gate, I'm not buying twice. Seconded. Universal should be the way forward.
