07 Feb 09 Hellfire for your iPhone Gamers

Gaming apps are targeting the iPhone and now we see a new gaming software, Hellfire, made available for iPhone owners. Hellfire is a 3-D helicopter shooter that will surely be a must have for avid gamers familiar with this arcade-strategy game application for mobiles. If you’ve had a Palm PDA in the past and this game will look familiar.

Hellfire makes good use of the iPhone’s controls; weapons fire and altitude adjustment is done using on-screen controls, and the helicopter’s direction and speed is managed by tilting the iPhone forward, backward, left and right. You can hover after a fashion by carefully righting the iPhone to a neutral position, and the game’s options include a sensitivity adjustment if you find the default settings too “twitchy.”

Hellfire is a fun game at a fair price, but the missions get boring quickly and don’t differentiate enough between the two sides represented in the game to really make you feel invested in playing through to the end of both campaigns. Still, if blasting bad guys in a combat helicopter sounds like a good time, this one is worth checking out.

Hellfire is compatible with any iPhone or iPod touch running the iPhone 2.x software update.
