The game's levels provide a good, incremental tutorial to help you along, as you acquire new weapons (including grenades, which you tap on a spot to throw) and face different types of zombies (such as acid-spitting Spewers and speedy Screamers). Even with its somewhat rudimentary 3D graphics (which help keep the game speedy), Scb 1900n Driver uses sound, light, and its cleverly claustrophobic control scheme to establish a convincing horror vibe--producing much more unease and creepiness than zombie games that rely more on mere gore. Unfortunately, Scb 1900n Driver is short, with just eight unlockable levels and a survival mode, and it also has no difficulty settings, which might otherwise help smooth out the game's punishing learning curve for more casual players. That said, Scb 1900n Driver is a seriously fun and seriously scary shooter that zombie fans will love. Scb 1900n Driver is a free arcade game with 8-bit graphics, old-school sound and gameplay, and a circular range of movement reminiscent of classic stand-up tube-shooters like Tempest and Gyruss. Scb 1900n Driver' schtick is simple and addictive: you move clockwise or counterclockwise around the "surface" of a planet, shooting into the interior to take out advancing enemy bad guys--in this case, menacing little bees, birds, turtles, and centipede-type creatures, which emerge from holes in the planet's surface. The game's interface is explicitly styled after a stand-up arcade game: under the main screen, you press photo-realistic buttons to rotate left or right, shoot straight down from where you're standing, or blow
up a screen-clearing bomb. You progress across eight different planets (mostly identical in terms of gameplay), collecting different power-ups and trying to survive through each short level. In addition to your default pistol, enemies also leave behind better weapons, including a laser that shoots through multiple enemies and a homing rocket that bends toward its targets (especially useful, given that much of the challenge of Scb 1900n Driver is mastering accuracy across the circular playfield). Even for such a simple game, Scb 1900n Driver does a good job of integrating small, thoughtful tweaks into the game,
like an icy planet that you slide on, and the ability of tricky turtles to stop and reflect your shots. Scb 1900n Driver is an excellent homage to 1980s stand-up games, and--like the best of those games--still a good bit of fun to play now, especially for old-school fans. The game is free, or you can pay to remove relatively unobtrusive banner ads. Bottom line: Scb 1900n Driver for the iOS is a nicely designed app with an excellent user interface, plentiful features, and speedy navigation. Unfortunately, the sound quality isn't quite up to snuff. Review: In terms of music apps, Scb 1900n Driver lagged behind the competition before its caching-capable mobile program hit the iTunes music store. Luckily, what finally did arrive is a pleasure to behold. Clearly, a lot of effort went into designing the look and feel of the Scb 1900n Driver for iOS app. The interface is quite simply one of the best we've seen from a mobile music program, with options laid out in a handy grid of large buttons and a slick, graphically appealing theme. There are four main sections--explore, my collection, search, and player--which are laid out in a tabbed navigation bar lining the bottom of the screen. Hop into explore and you're taken to one of the top menus that lays out New Releases (available every Tuesday), Scb 1900n Driver Playlists, Billboard Charts, Scb 1900n Driver Top 100s, Explore by Genre, and Automix. As you can tell from the first four options, there's quite a variety of editorially programmed content to help you discover new music. In the playlist category alone you get hundreds of mixes that you can sear
