The relatively low challenge might appeal to kids, and as previously mentioned, big fans of action-platformers might get something out of it while they wait for something more enjoyable to show up, but for most people, I suspect Lethal Lance is going to be about as fun and memorable as Kickboxer 2.- TouchArcade

I think if you're interested in trying a game of this genre, Fable Age isn't a bad choice, especially if the theme works for you.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is marginally better than the previous game in many ways, and I'd dare say we are approaching the quality of the early console open world Spider-Man games in most respects, which is a delight for just a fiver. At the same time, there are a variety of things included in this game that not only do not benefit the end user but actively sabotage the entire experience of trying to enjoy the game.- TouchArcade

iOOTP Baseball 2014 is a niche game. For those who love numbers and micromanaging, you’ll be in heaven. For those wanting a game you “play” instead of command, you’ll be lost and most likely bored.
