Mac enthusiast site Macgasm offers its thoughts on Jetpack Joyride, the latest game from Halfbrick Studios. Marco Fiori writes:
"Restart. Restart. Restart. Get used to it, because that’s what Jetpack Joyride is all about. A repetitive flight through the same laboratory every time – cloned hallways, scurrying scientists, flying missiles intent on knocking you from your gravity-defying craft. This is the world of Mr Barry Steakfries – a Groundhog Day adventure.
To describe Jetpack Joyride as repetitive sounds derogatory, but it’s not meant like that. It’s used in the most politest of ways possible. It’s a game with a simple concept exploited in the name of fun."
There’s a limited-time crossover celebrating Metal Slug in Jetpack Joyride. The in-game event runs for three weeks.
Each week Sony brings PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Portable owners new content, add-ons, games and more with the PlayStation Store Update.
PP: Not all is good with Barry Steakfries’ return. No, instead of being a typical free-to-play game (the game features a ton of in-app purchases,) you’ll have to stump up a few quid before being pressured into micro-transactions.
