Gaming Update's Chris Boots-Faubert sat down to give Crazy Escape a hard play and discovered a game that any puzzle fan will instantly find addictive and challenging. The fact that this well-designed and entertaining title is only .99 cents is something of a shock, considering that it has the heft of a full game that hits every mark.
This surprise find also turned out to be the first iOS title to ever earn a perfect review score.
Original Gamer - Bulkypix seems to be one of the more heavily focused developers on this site, although their previous releases haven’t exactly set the world on fire. Their search for pick-up-and-play gold on the iPhone continues with Crazy Escape, which tasks players with rescuing loose sheep from wolves whilst driving a jeep with two penguins behind the wheel. Considering that Angry Birds focuses on birds with a penchant for catapults and their attempts to rescue stolen eggs from pigs, Crazy Escape definitely has the wackiness down, but when it comes to not being able to put your device down instead, is the game good?

Even though I can't figure out what audience Crazy Escape is aimed at, it is a very solid line-drawing style with a lot of personality. The graphics and sound are very nice, but the gameplay is strikingly similar to a lot of iOS games as of late. Also, starting out simple and being very difficult in just a few levels is a trend I am seeing a lot of. Regardless, the game is a wonderful value for just 99 cents.
It’s been predicted by some that our mobile devices are killing the handheld gaming market. With games like Virtual City Playground and Steambirds: Survival in the iTunes app store, there are definitely good reasons to leave your handheld and home. While the vast majority of apps are nowhere near the caliber of the highest rated DS and PSP titles, gamers are beginning to see some of their most beloved titles (Katamari and Scribblenauts for example) ported over to their iOS devices. And with the ever improving processors in smartphones, the potential of apps is only increasing. Check out this week’s selection to see if you agree.
This article arrived just in time. I just paid for my iPhone 4S and I'm looking for good games.
