Triple Shot Sports iPhone Game Review

Posted on 01. Jun, 2009 by iPhone App Reviewer in $3, 8 Star Ratings, iPhone Game App Reviews

Triple Shot Sports: The most frustrating app you will ever have fun with.

Version Reviewed: 1.2
Developer: The Code Monkeys
Price as of Review: $2.99
Current iTunes Rating: 3.5/5

Triple Shot Sports is your source of olympic style shooting for the iPhone.  The app contains three different game modes, Rapid Fire Pistol, Running Target, and of course my favourite, Archery.  Triple Shot Sports provides a very realistic experience with more than satisfactory 3D graphics and a rich sporting experience.  There’s tournament and quick play game styles that allow you to compete at different skill levels, lead a country, and earn achievements.  Triple Shot Sports is one of the most realistic games I’ve played on the iPhone, and even though it sparkles with the iPhone’s capabilities as a desktop gaming platform, it’s the perfect pick up and play solution.

Although it all sounds great Triple Shot Sports is bogged down with some serious annoyances.  The control scheme concept is perfect but executed by the developers quite poorly.  Lots of glitches and lag with the aiming process and although it makes for a harder and more realistic experience, parts of the game can be quite frustrating (i.e. fouls on the rapid fire pistol).  Nonetheless Triple Shot Sports is worth checking out, especially if you’re a fan of any of the games.   The developers even included more factors to the game such as wind, moving targets, velocity, etc… all which you have to account for if you wish to get that 1st place.

Even with the occasionally annoying touch controls the game is quite stable.  It has never crashed for me in the time I’ve played it for this review.  Even with the immensely complex graphics the app handles it beautifully, even the user interface is near-perfect.  Once things are improved, Triple Shot Sports is definetely something you should check out, enjoy.

Final Ratings:

Gameplay: 9.8/10 – So much to do, perfect sporting fun

Enjoyment: 6.9/10 – Great fun but the annoyances bog it down

Graphics: 9/10 – Pretty darn good!

Sound: 8/10 – The sound effects dynamically change and aren’t annoying

Technology: 4.9/10 – So many glitches

Replay Value: 7/10 – Very good while you play it but not something you get heavily addicted to

Overall Rating: 7.6/10

Recommended For:

• Target games like Archery
• A fan of challenging pick up and play games

Further Improvements: (Note to the developer)

• Drastically smooth out/improve touch controls!!
