Customer Reviews
A serious disappointment...
I am a huge fan of Mr Driller, so I was naturally ecstatic to have it on my iphone. The controls are decent (as good as they can be without physical buttons that you can feel) and the gameplay is intact. There is just one MAJOR flaw to this game: there's no incentive to play more than twice. When I purchased the game, I expected a game similar to the Mr Driller on the DS, IE one with a story and missions, etc. Instead I get this little cash-in from Namco and I'm left thoroughly unsatisfied and regretting my purchase. There are only two different "missions" you can drill in (500M and 1000M). After you finish those (which takes no less that 15 mins), that's it folks. You're done. Sure you can play survival mode or time attack, but both of those are nearly identical to the other mode.
My only complaint is Namco's obvious laziness when it would have taken just about ZERO effort to make this game more. Heck, they could've just ported the DS game over (with its story, missions, characters, upgrades, etc) in likely just as much time, and I would've been a happy camper. But instead they take the cheap route and I'm left feeling slighted. Avoid this one unless you enjoy being cheated everyone!
oh whaat
definitely a super steal at 99 cents. i'm not sure if it's an introduction price, but now is definitely the time to purchase this game if you want to do so
woot wooot
Nicely done
Been a huge fan of Mr. Driller since the launch of the GBA, figured it was worth a buck to see if Namco could pull it off. Controls work very well actually, dpad is pretty responsive and easy to press. The auto-down is a nice feature, though takes some getting used to if you've played before.
It runs a little slow; not sure if that's to compensate for lack of a proper dpad or because it's a port of the original game. And it's pretty bare-bones, lacking a lot of the features of the newer games (powerups, quest mode, multiple characters, etc.). Two depth levels (with 4 difficulty settings) and 10 time attack levels is all you get. Those gripes aside though, it's still very playable, and still Mr. Driller. If you're looking for an action puzzle game, this is still one of the best.
