    It's more involved than a typical corridor flyer, looks great, plays well and is absolutely loaded with challenge. The price might look a bit scary, but I think fans of this kind of game will get their money's worth here.

    A challenging title, and it's one that requires players to commit to an unusual control scheme.

    Unreal Engine, top-notch technology, goes hand in hand with game's addicting gameplay and its great vibe – something I wouldn't expect from a mobile/tablet game like Gyro13.

    Complex and hard, definitely not for everyone. We need to play each level until we find out how to beat it, but once we get used to its gameplay we will be spending hours playing it. If you don't mind the lack of variety in its levels and you're looking for a challenge, it's worth trying.

    If old school thrust-based physics games appeal, this is one of the best looking and engaging out there.

    Even if the Unreal Engine makes its graphics look quite good, Gyro13 is an unpolished game, with several technical flaws and design imperfections.

    It simply wasn't as enjoyable as we'd hoped it would be. The lack of social gaming network integration also limits its replay value.

    As a rescue-'em-up, Saucelifter's under half the price, brighter and far more fun. Get that instead.

It can be challenging every now and then so that you have to resist the urge to throw your iPhone against a wall but you will come back to it soon to try it again... and again... and again. And in the end you will of course make it through all the obstacles - mines, gas clouds, narrow corridors, all that moving machinery - and you will save the day, will be proud of yourself and will want to try previous levels again because they don't seem that difficult any more. It looks great, plays well and has a tremendous soundtrack. Fully recommended!… Full Review »
