Good game when it's not crashing
This game is very fun to play, but the constant crashes (on my first-gen iPad) are beyond frustrating. They always seem to happen a few seconds after I win a naval battle. If this gets fixed (or at a minimum change the auto save to save after these battles), this would become a game I would recommend. As it is now, I suggest you save your money and your sanity until these problems are corrected.
*UPDATE* Sadly I must further downgrade my rating for what should be a great game as the crashing has increased to the point that I CAN NO LONGER PROGRESS IN THE GAME. I am essentially stuck between save points because the game always crashes after my load and before the next opportunity to save. Always. Game over.
Also, no amount of rebooting the iPad makes a lick of difference.
Crashes constantly
This game is great but crashes constantly on my iPad. The app support button is a dead link. Buyer beware
How dare they
How dare 2k release this game knowing it crashes over and over again. Even with a reboot with this being the first app launched, play for 5 mins, CRASH. If you have a 1st gen iPad, STAY AWAY.
