Asteroids Game App for BlackBerry Review

Asteroids was one of the earliest computerized games ever created and therefore it has its own place in the history of electronic gaming That being said, there are many people that own BlackBerry devices today that played that game when it was first released and ended up loving it quite a bit For anyone with that level of nostalgia or for anyone that would just like to see what the earliest games were like, Asteroids for the BlackBerry is definitely an app that you should consider downloading.

Blast away at asteroids just like in the original

Whenever a really old and really classic game is recreated for a new platform, there are always concerns that the people creating the new game will not stay true to the original Well, in the case of Asteroids, it is quite easy to point out that those concerns are unfounded You can blast away at the asteroid field in the game, clearing a path for your ship to fly through just as you would have done in the original version of the game all those years ago.

Avoid hitting the asteroids that you don’t shoot

For most people, there are going to be far too many asteroids for them to blow up the entire field This means that once your ship is done blasting through the asteroids, it also needs to make sure that it avoids the asteroids that were not incinerated Remember that the gun on your ship is not your only weapon as a good skill at the wheel can arguably be just as effective as any precise shot that you take in the game.

Watch out for UFOs

Another element to this throwback game is the UFO element From time to time, UFOs will appear and attack your ship Make sure that you’re on guard for these attacks because they can easily derail all of the good work you’ve done in clearing a path through the asteroid field and avoiding the ones that are still around.

Final Score

Asteroids is distinctly a niche game in the throwback genre It does not take full advantage of either the game play or the graphics of the BlackBerry platform, but it does faithfully recreate one of the most famous historical games of all time For that reason, we’ve decided to be a bit generous and give this game a final score of 8.5 out of 10 for sentimental reasons.
