Flight Control is an incredibly addictive game produced by Firemint Pty Ltd. The latest update for the iPod/iPhone version was released on the 8th December 2010, whilst the latest update for the iPad version was released on the 24th November 2010. The iPod/iPhone version retails at $0.99/£0.59 whilst the iPad version retails at the slightly overpriced cost of $4.99/£2.99. As the game has two different versions, I will talk about them both separately, starting with the iPod/iPhone version. The game is priced very reasonably at $0.99/£0.59, and the game play is extremely simple, just draw a line with your finger from each player to its runway, each plane is colour coded, e.g red plane goes to red runway. The aim of the game is to land as much planes as possible without any mid-air collisions, after the first mid-air collision, the game ends and you have to start again. You have the option to fly solo or with a friend, online via Game Centre, over a wifi network or through Bluetooth. The game features 10 aircraft to be used on 5 different airfields. The iPod/iPhone has been rated 4/5 stars out of 49,450 reviews. Moving on now to the iPad version of the game, the game comes at a slightly overpriced cost of $4.99/£2.99 but it is very addictive. The game play itself is the same as the iPod/iPhone version, with the aim of the game unchanged. Flight Control HD features 10 airfields instead of the 5 from the iPod/iPhone version. The iPad version comes with one additional map, three "HD" maps and a 3D map, which requires 3D goggles for the full experience. Flight Control HD also houses the ability to have two players on one device, thanks the the iPad's large screen. The iPad version is rated 4 and a half stars out of 5, thanks to 5,141 customer reviews. Pros: Easy to use Simple Addictive Cons: iPad version overpriced Some bugs not fixed
