    With three stages to play on and dozens of characters and weapons to unlock, Super Crate Box is easily one of the best games on iOS, if not one of the best games in the last five years. Period.

    If you already tried the freeware version of Super Crate Box, then you know how fast, immediate and fun this game is. You can really play for hours and never get bored, trying to unlock all the weapons and all the game modes.

    The original PC version is still justifiably popular but touchscreen controls only turn a difficult game into an unreasonably frustrating one.

    The concept is OK, and the retro graphics have a cool 8-bit vibe. We just cannot muster enough excitement to care. Poor collision detection means enemies reach your character even though it seemed like you executed a high enough jump to vault over them. Meanwhile, the randomness of the weapons simply makes the game tougher than it should be. No one in his or her right mind should want to go from a flamethrower to landmines. Factor in just three stages, and Super Crate Box is a big letdown.
