Doodle PlaneSCORE: 66I had somepeoplerecommendDoodle Planeto me. Theythought Iwould loveit, and itwould be oneof the toptier gamesI reviewedfor FamilyFriendlyGaming. Obviouslytheyhave not readenough of ourreviews. Players fly an airplanefrom one side of the screen waydown to the other side. DoodlePlane scrolls so wonderfully forus. There are three people youcan save. They are parachutingdown and for some reason cannot touch the ground, buildings,or whatever else is in the way.I balked at the graphicsin Doodle Plane. Everythinglooks like it was drawn with acrayon. I may not be the most artisticchap on the planet, but thisstyle does nothing to help thisgame. In fact it detracts. The plusside is the violence does not lookas bad. What violence? Crashinginto things like building, helicopters,planets. You know you willcrash into about everything inthis game. I did.The music in DoodlePlane is okay. It did not do muchfor me. At times I found the specialeffect sounds to be annoying.They irritated me to the point ofturning them completely off. Ilike how Doodle Plane encouragesus to save others.I think it is cheap forgames to base their replay valueon replaying the same level.Doodle Plane is so difficult, andhas such control problems thatyou will literally play the samelevel over double to triple digittimes. That is if you can handlethe frustration of it. I spent ninetyninecents on this app, and feellike I wasted my hard earnedmoney.Did somebody mentioncontrols? Why yes I did. Gamerscontrol their speed and theirheight. Finding the right combinationis like trying to breakinto a safe value by turning theknob. I constantly struggled withgetting my plane into the rightplaces at the right times. It is verycommon in Doodle Plane to nicksomething and have to start completelyover again. Do not get mestarted on trying to land.Doodle Plane remindsme why they do not allow certaincraft to fly over congested areas.I crashed more timesthan I would like tocount. Doodle Planeis a major disappointmentfor me. Idid not enjoy playingthis app, andhave now removed itfrom my iPod Touch.Please avoid DoodlePlane like a crashingairplane.- MarkPublisher: Chitralekha ProductionsSystem: iPhone/iPod TouchRating: ‘9+’ - 9+ {Infrequent/Mild Cartoonor Fantasy Violence}Graphics: 63%Sounds: 70%Replay/Extras: 68%Gameplay: 52%Family Friendly Factor: 77%Family Friendly Gaming 38
