Daaang. A $10 price point? For a game that’s been delayed umpteen times, and as Hansel points out, no mulitplayer - that’s a bit steep.

I can’t believe how cheap some iPhone people are. Some of us complain about paying $10 when games have never been sold this cheaply anywhere else. For simple games I would expect to pay around $30 for the DS. If you complain about paying a measly $10 for a game, then maybe you should not have purchased an iPhone and that money would better be used to buy Top Ramen noodles or something.

Everyone complains about a $10 game on the iPhone. This game would be $30 at least on the DS and more on the PSP. Your getting awesome games for dirt cheap prices.

@ #1: The phrase in the article, “as well as the option to listen to music from the iPod app,” refers to the ability to launch the app while music (from the iPod app) is playing. In other words, if you launch the app while music is playing, the app won’t stop your music to play its own soundtrack. Remember that iPod is one of a very few iPhone apps that are allowed to run in the background.
