Sailboat Championship app good for
At first this game is tough, you should learn the controls from the lite version. But once you play it a few times you start to pick up on how the waves and the winds moves, and how to make sure your boat doesnt end up straight into the wind etc. This is a game that will last you a long time. Its challenging, but just like in real sailing the more you take to the sails the better youll get, and I have seen a significant improvement in both my virtual and real sailing skills since I bpught the game. Great graphics, great gameplay, tons of levels and races. I wish the sailors aide would be visible all the time.
Very pleased with this game. Strategy, wind, boat....it has it all. Dont think you have to be a sailor. Any strategy or racing fan will love this app.
Let me start by saying that I love this game and that everything included in it is top notch. As someone who grew up sailing and racing sailboats I think you did a lot right. But... I think a few additions would make tis game perfect.
1. A true start to each race with the boats trying to time their starts perfectly. This is arguably the most intense part of sailboat racing.
2. Wind dead spots and stealing wind. If Im on a reach between the wind and my competitor, it should slow him down some.
3. More tracks that are longer. I know an iPad game isnt going to have a crazy amount of content, but the tracks arent exactly the most complicated thing in the world. More would be nice.
Regardless, I love this game and recommend it to any sailers out there or anyone interested in a strategic racer.
This is a great game, with great graphics. The only issue I have with this game is how impossible it is to gybe without slowing down to a complete standstill. If the developers could change this, and maybe make it a bit easier to advance to the next level, this would be the greatest game in the App Store.
This is a real treat. Its a little tricky to advance to the next stage, but Im OK with that because it is so fun and intuitive to play. Big question is, where are these new modes?? I cant seem to find them anywhere.
I have no experience with sailing whatsoever, but I really enjoy this game. The sailing is tricky, but it wouldnt be as much fun if there was no room for improvement.
Lots of achievements to strive for, many unlockables, smooth video play, great graphics and really nice soundscape.
Recommended for anyone who likes water-based games.
Some bad moments
The slow frame rate makes this game virtually unplayable, as soon as an update comes out greatly increases the lag I will edit my review.
These new modes do not exist, and the developer will not reply on twitter or the app forum. This looks like a marketing scam.
If you sail and were looking for a game to come close to simulating what it is like to be at the helm you will be disappointed. This is a racing game disguised as a sailboat. And it is actually hard to follow the line because it moves so quickly. Would not recommend
There is no real difference between the iPad and iPhone versions. Great game but one star for not making it a universal app. I bought both versions so they have my money and a one star review for the iPad version and a great five star review for the iPhone one.
I loved the app but it crashes after the second race! When I get two stars, the screen just goes completely blank.
This game is way to hard. After buying it, I was only able to complete 2 races and it will not unlock any further courses unless you win enough stars. You have to beat a specific time to win either bronze, silver or gold medals and get a star for each. If you win at least silver on each course, it WILL NOT let you move on. This would be a fun little game if they didnt choke you down with time limits. Stupid and a waste of my money.
