Activision Anthology App Reviews

The graphics are fine, but the controls are horrible, just one game! Please developers stop using avaudioplayer for sound effects, too much lag, use skaction playsound instead!!

When I first saw this I downloaded and bought the whole 6.99 collection without even trying the first free game, and I am not regreting this at all infact it is worth every cent just for the great memories of how much I loved these games back in the 80s. I always thought that they were so much slicker than the actual Atari carts of the time. My only complaint is why no icade controls? Great old gems like these need a joystick, please consider this in an update, thanks for the memories!

Great game selection, but where is the I-Cade Cabinet support thats described in the product info.? Am I missing something?

The amount of games for $6.99 and the overall look is amazing. Controls: 8/10

You cant exactly call this a free game with only bomber man unlocked. If you want me to shell out 6.99 for 30 year old games your gonna need to come to the table with a better offering. Wouldnt it make sense to have pitfall or something a little more fun to get potential buyers interested or hooked?

What a pile of crap. A "free" game that you need to shell out $2.99 or $6.99 more to play. No thanks.

I miss my Atari & I had this collection on my computer till I updated. This app is just as good.

I cant believe people complaining about spending $6.99 for all these classic oldies games. Great trip down memory lane. Controls take a little getting use to but overall well worth it.

Ill never know why people are getting so mad over having to fork out a bit of money for such classic games, memories Ill always keep.

I suppose it would be a nice walk down memory lane if there was a controller attached to it. The d-pad function isnt as responsive as Id hoped. Ive never been a fan of the tilt function. Personally, if I had known what I know now, I wouldnt have bothered.

Its got digital patches! Youre the best, Activision. :)

A fantastic classic Collection rivaling the PC version of the Anthology. Its in dire need of updating for iPhone 5+ support though so the controls can be positioned closer to the edge, and also better tilt support, as its pretty jittery the way it is. D-Pad Flow controls need tweaking too. This would he a 5-star if these issues were addressed.

The $6.99 price tag for the games is REALLY worth it.

If the game have a real playable d-pad i will buy it but at the moment it´s unplayable... impossible to control the d-pad, sensitivity is way too stupid

I like this game but my call of duty waw zombies says that I never even bought it and I clearly bought it when my friend was playing it on MY iPod a while back before I accidentally deleted it.

Great adaptation of all the Activision titles. Plenty of option for control. All the original manuals are available.

I like having the original manuals. Wish the tilt controls worked differently- with holding phone level as standstill (even if off to one side) and tilting controls speed of acceleration (instead of current implementation of discrete angles associated with position). The game, Velocispider has really pleasant tilt controls that behave as I described.

This game is free but when you get it you only get one game and you have to pay 6.99 for the whole thing heres an idea how about YOU MAKE THE GAME 6.99 SO YOU DONT DISAPPOINT EVERYBODY!

Good selection of games, they work like the originals, but many are unplayable due to the awful controls. The D pad is frustrating, very easy to miss the pad or button. Tilt is useless, no precision at all. Touch works, but you cant see the game with your finger on the screen. Agree with others the developer should come out with a lightning connector controller.

Spent too much of my youth on Activision games. Good to see them again but the controls are horrible. Thats why Im only giving it 3.
