Why?

Age of Wind was the best IOS game ever made, and its the reason I havent sold my iPhone 3GS, but Age of Wind is no-longer available on the App Store, and has been replaced by this garbage. It may not be worthless, but it still brings shame to its predecessor. AOW2 just doesnt have the feel of the open-world third-person ship-battling MASTERPIECE that Age of Wind defined for the entire decade. Age of Wind was completely free, no IAPs, ads in banner mode only (if any at all), and most of all, it was fun... Age of Wind 2 is not a sequel, its a ripoff. It may be made by the same people, but its still trying (and failing) to capture what made Age of Wind so genre-defining, and I cant tell you what made AOW some great because there are no words to describe it. Developers, please, if you want this game series (and your wallet) to survive, throw away AOW2 and search through your company database to find the AOW files so you can bring the best game of its kind back to life.
Age of Wind.
Was.
GLORIOUS.
I certainly cannot say the same for its successor.
Age of Wind was absolutely amazing, its graphics being more retro instead of utter crap, its story being just deep enough to be followable, but not so deep that it gets boring (albeit the missions were tough-as-nails), and its gameplay was extremely satisfying.

Age of Wind 2 is the polar opposite:
Graphics are a terrible attempt at an upgrade, is lacking story-wise, and the gameplay is just DEPLORABLY BORING.
In short, In App Purchases ruin everything, ads make the game unplayable, and as an avid gamer the gameplay and story of Age of Wind 2 left me very dissatisfied.

Verdict:
DO.
NOT.
DOWNLOAD.
