Comments on: New game brings iPhone into Wiimote territory

iFun, a new game for the iPhone created by the Social Gaming Network, uses the device's accelerometer to turn it into a game controller.

Yeah, but the iPhone is more expensive than the Wii! And the Wii remote is more than just an accelerometer, as anyone who has played (say) Disaster: Day of Crisis will know.

The iPhone is also more than a Wii remote. AFAIK, a Wii remote can't make phone calls, play MP3s or take pictures - let alone run all those apps from the store. It al depends on what you want to do.

If you put together the initial TV-destroying Wiimote slips with the renowned slipperiness of the iPhone, you have a recipe for EPIC disaster. As far as the economics of this goes, which would you rather see sailing from your hand and across the room, a $30+ Wiimote or a $200+ iPhone?

Yeah, I think that new Pocket Jockey game has got it right-- you put the phone in your pocket and jump around. Much safer for your phone (though you look kinda goofy!)

this game ist great fun, i love it. but I'm a big wii-fan too. but you can't compare these two different things. with the iphone you don't have the varieties and the feeling you have with your wii. with the iphone I like to play short and funny games like Slogorado or else. when I am at home with friends I use wii.
