Pros and cons of MULE Returns app for iPhone and iPad

MULE Returns app good for

Must have for arcade fans. Looking forward to getting the multiplayer option.
From the past with a new edge. Well done, lots of fun, and plenty of re-play.
This was one of the defining games of its times and influenced so many of the game designers who went on to create more of the classics. This version is great, it stays true to the fun and addictive gameplay of the original while updating it to work well on iOS. Long life the Wampus!
A longtime ago, after I sold my Commodore 64, I bought back one with a friend only to play this game. Its back!!! Same fun all over the place. Only problems: - AI could be better. Winning is too easy - Original music is not there, even though the versions that are there are very recognizable - Multiplayer mode - the sooner, the better!
Awesome update on the classic game. One of the first games that got me into gaming. Fun and addictive game play. Thanks so much for bringing this back!
Awesome game! I particularly love the audio and visual effects.

Some bad moments

Apparently the writers took the money and ran. They promised multiplayer since it came out. Single player isnt a whole lot of fun. That was at least two years ago. For everyone that buys it they get paid and apple gets paid. Win win for both. Dont waste your money.
I really looked forward this remake for months but the result is disapointing. The loading times within the game are longer than in my original c64 version, thats not acceptable
I was a fan of the original game. Not worth $4.99, wish I could get my money back. The game is a bit flawed, doesnt present criteria for colony health, doesnt provide strategic opportunity to review your land ownership, no multiplayer, annoying interruption of flow with Loading screens. Somehow the original seemed less repetitive for some reason.
I was so excited to see a remake of one of my favorite childhood games. PLUS, the reviews were all great, which leads me to believe they are are all friends of the developers, because THIS GAME IS TERRIBLE!! Heres why: 1. CONTROLS - your character slides around the screen like it has a mind of its own. Half the time you try to place a Mule on a plot it runs away even when youre standing dead centre on it. Why? Who knows... Its nearly unplayable. 2. STYLE - This game costs $5. Wheres the production value?? It looks like my 6 year old did the art work. 3. SOUND - Did someone purposely try and find the most annoying sound effects and put them all into one game? OVERALL: What a huge disappointment! Unplayable controls, sloppy design, antagonizing sound and waaaay overpriced. For $5 this game should have had some real polish. These guys are banking on you buying it because you loved the original. Well, this is a sad, sad copy of the original. What a waste of a classic gem. If you loved MULE dont buy this, it will sully a wonderful memory.
Why remake a bad game? Perhaps entertaining for children or old folks.
Too many bugs can barely assign a mule to a plot. Not worth paying for. Auction froze until I sold resources at a super cheap price to computer players, cheating buggy broken game! I want a refund!
