There’s a reason Cube has only 2½ stars after 5000+ reviews: it’s practically unplayable! You have to admire fernLightning for attempting to put Quake on the iPhone, but this first-person-shooter isn’t even close to being ready for primetime.

When the graphics are running smoothly (usually when there’s nothing to shoot at) control is super difficult… accelerometer movement is way too sensitive and will probably make you hurl if you’re prone to motion sickness. Throw in some bad guys and you can expect the framerate to slow down to an excruciating crawl, and even if the game doesn’t go all laggy on you it’s still pretty much impossible to aim at anything.

Cube would be an impressive game if it weren’t such a pain in the ass to play. Until the movement and lag see some massive improvements, I’ll have to file this under “waste of time”.

This game looks cool in screenshots but trying to play it is pure torture

    I have this game for the PC and iTouch and thought they did a great job porting it, I used to look at the game the same way you do until I played it a couple more times, then I got used to it, and now I can really get into shootin’ bad guys in the face with a shotgun and such just since I got used to the controls, which is why I have to disagree with this app being a waste of time, unless what you look for in an FPS is multiplayer, in wchich case you are probably out of luck with this game
