How to Shred Your iPhone

The game offers users the chance to either jam away on the guitar or bash out the beats on the drums. The ability to plug in headphones allows for total immersion in the game as players attempt to tour the circuit and achieve global rock star fame in career mode. Whilst strumming away to tunes such as Smoke on the Water, What’s My Age Again and Beat It, can be mastered relatively quickly on the easier levels, users may find that the drums take slightly longer to master. For the purpose of parity I should point out a few of negatives in the (although there aren’t many). Although the track list is stocked with instantly recognisable hits the experience is slightly tainted by the records not being by the original artists.

Also, if you fancy a quick jam session then you first need to work your way through the career mode in order to unlock the majority of the songs. However, this feature does increase the overall gaming aspect of the application. The biggest bug bear with the game though is that after half hour of ripping the chords you may find yourself needing to recharge your iPhone’s battery. Overall though these niggles aren’t enough to dampen the hours of fun you’re guaranteed to have tapping away to some of the biggest rock tunes in the world.

Studio Radiolaris has announced that they’re planning to release their musical shooter Radio Flare in the App Store in a couple of days. The game looks a lot like Rez, a game that came out for PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast, but it wasn’t the success the developers hoped it would be. Fares Kayali of Studio Radiolaris says that they want users to turn music into an interactive experience with this iPhone game. Radio Flare contains five stages and over 100 enemy formations

Overall, TTD will only set you back a Lincoln ($5 US) while providing hours of gameplay.
