    It's a neat concept that both companies executed wonderfully, from the different units to the touch controls and spectacular graphics that are on par with and arguably better than anything we've seen on Sony's PSP, at least within the tower defense genre.

    The game looks fantastic and the touch controls are quicker and more precise than its PC counterpart's mouse. Its glorious mix of tactics and action is both instantly accessible and deceptively deep. An anomaly indeed.

    A great twist on the now-tired tower defense genre, and one of the best games of the year.

    At first glance, Anomaly Warzone Earth feels like an impossible game, but closer inspection reveals that it's merely extremely hard.

    Offering a fresh and interesting variation on the tower defense mechanics, Anomaly: Warzone Earth is a compelling and challenging game, indeed one of the best strategies out there on App Store.

    Chillingo did a good job converting Anomaly: Warzone Earth that, in this portable version, mantaining all the distintive tracts of the desktop version.

    It's almost possible to execute a hands-off completion of a level, but the app will always find a way to surprise you and cause you to react.

It has real depth of field, impressive gunfire and particle effects and also an intriguing twist on classic tower defence gameplay. It's intuitive touch works well on both devices, but iPad is where it really shines. The idea of Tower Offense is innovative and the amount of replay value is high with a large variety of modes. Overall it's definitely worth a download as it IS a good game.… Expand

It makes you consider your options carefully, choose a method (careful and well planned or cavalier and action packed!), has a new take on tower defence games (originality - tick!) and it must be said, is quite fun. However, there is next to no storyline, the number of units, upgrades and support are rather limited, and for some reason the game isn't absorbing. I am a TD nut, but was able to put this down unfinished after only a few hours. 100 metascore? I question whether this is the best game ever made for the iOS.… Expand
