The iPhone Trench Run
As a committed fan of the Star Wars franchise I was looking forward to the impending arrival of the Star Wars: Trench Run game for the iPhone. The game places the player in the pilot seat of an X-Wing and provides the challenge of blowing up assorted bits and pieces that said pilot would encounter in the trenches of the Death Star.
The graphics engine of the iPhone is suitably leveraged to produce stunning visuals and smooth animation. Great sound effects taken directly from the movie help wanna-be Red Squadron pilots get into the action. There are few controls to master: simply tilt the iPhone in the intended direction to steer the X-Wing. Large areas of the screen provide the necessary buttons for firing weapons and activating other functions. Various modes of play and difficulty levels are available.
The ultimate mission: carefully aim a torpedo into the exhaust port of the Death Star. Use the Force if you have to…
Star Wars: Trench Run costs USD 4.99 and is available in the iTunes App Store. A great game, not only for fanboys.
