As a gamer I take a lot of joy in perusing the Android Market for new ways to feed my hunger for interactive media, and sometimes I come across a game with a premise so interesting it shoots a grin across my face and pulls my thumb to the install button. My latest encounter of this sort was with Replica Island, developed by the appropriately named Team Replica.<\/p>\n
Replica Island is essentially an old school platformer, although instead of making it to the end of a level, the object is to collect three red crystals scattered across the stage. My favorite part, however, is the fact that you play as the Android mascot in his hunt for \u201cThe Source,\u201d an artifact hunted by two opposing factions with absolutely no love for one another.<\/p>\n
The Basics<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Final Verdict<\/strong>: Replica Island carries the quality and quantity of a paid app, for free. With its simple control scheme, amount of content and interesting level design, Replica Island can, and should, be enjoyed by both hardcore and casual gamers alike. If you have an interest in the platformer genre, and enough money in your account to afford a game that costs absolutely nothing, you\u2019d be pretty crazy not to give it a try.<\/p>\n The goods<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Needs improvment<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Special Notes<\/strong>: Sends anonymous user data, such as deaths and completion times, back to the developer. All of the info is compiled at http:\/\/replicaisland.net\/index.php?view=en\/player_metrics.php<\/a><\/p>\n\n
