Review: Meteor Blitz
Super Stardust in your pocket.
Meteor Blitz is a new game from the AppStore that has me smearing fingerprints all over my phone. If you’ve played Super Stardust HD on the PS3, and you enjoy it, then this game is for you. If you enjoy arcade style side-scrollers, but have never played a game of this type, then what are you waiting for?
Meteor Blitz uses two virtual analog sticks. The left one controls your ship around the orbit of a planet, and the right one controls the direction in which you fire. The upgrade system is slightly different from Stardust, but works beautifully. There are 6 different planets to clear and 3 different weapons. You also have bombs and speed boost in your arsenal. The action is fast-paced and addictive. My favorite feature has to be that as you’re racking up points, the game lets you know where you rank on the global leaderboards. In real-time. Right under your score.
Below is a game play video for your eyeballs.
