May 23, 2012Beneath EA's layer of crafty monetisation, however, Flight Control Rocket is a stellar effort. The generic sci-fi visuals and overly busy menus might lack the instant appeal of Flight Control's handsome '50s styling, and that game's purity is sorely missing here, but underneath all that EA sheen is a game with genuine heart.

Apr 23, 2012So blame me for this review being a badly disguised commentary on gaming in 2012 if you want, just don't blame me for the score. That's EA's fault.

Apr 7, 2012Flight Control Rocket maintains the same fun of the predecessor but not the same freshness; however there are two or three new features, like the Bots for example, that could be considered interesting.

Mar 23, 2012Despite its out-of-this-world theme, variety of interactive aircraft, and continued engaging gameplay, the inclusion of a bunch of typical freemium tactics meant to drain your wallet have practically erased the goodwill built up by its predecessor.

Mar 19, 2012Minus the free-to-play shenanigans, Flight Control Rocket is easily the best entry in the series so far, as it sports a lot of fresh and fun ideas, as well as a groovy new theme that Firemint fleshes out splendidly throughout. It's also one of the best looking new iPad games.

Mar 18, 2012While it adds some interesting new ideas to the schematic laid down by the original, Flight Control Rocket can't quite focus its attention in the same way, landing it on the fun, but a little muddled runway.
