  • Great Classic

    Enjoyed the remake on the DS, glad to see it handles so well on the iPhone. Simple gameplay, but never gets boring. Including the original game is a great touch too! All in all, definitely worth the purchase.
  • Love it

    It's so much fun! Not too hard so u don't get frustrated, it is a bit laggy from time to time but maybe it's just mine. I'm just hoping it's not short, I having got far yet.
  • Classic

    For all Mario fans. Giana was made not to compete with Mario, but make it an alternative for non nintendo devices. Let's face it. Mario will never show up in the app store. Don't complain.

    My first Giana experience was on C64. I loved it. Thumbs up to the dev here. New levels are great and the experience is good (the game could be more difficult like Mario) but overall it's nice. Classic levels is neat addon for those who finish the game :-)
  • Love this game!!!

    I've been waiting for a game like this. I'm old school and one of my favorite games is Mario bros and this game resembles it so much I no longer miss not being able to play it on my iphone. Yahoo!!!!! Thanks!!!
  • Awesome and makes me think...

    Makes me think of the past.
    I am 33 years old and I was about 10 when I first played 'Super Mario Bros' and 'Alex Kidd in Miracle World'.
    Those were some of the greatest years of my life. My dreams were the size of the Universe, my stress level was non-existent, and I knew that every month a new issue of Electroic Gaming Monthly would show up in my mailbox.

    When it came to the magic of actually playing games, especially platformers, they really brought to life what video games were all about.

    If I had been able to pickup Gianna Sisters for Sega Master System, NES, or Atari Lynx - I most certainly would have!
    Think about the differences in video game history if this game was allowed the room to grow.
    Sure, there are similarities to the Plumber, but there are MANY games with similarities to the Plumber.

    Anyhow, Jumping ahead to now, this is a great game on a wonderful platform (The iPod has become my favorite gaming platform!)

    I would rate the graphics somewhere between 16 and 32 bit style games.
    They look great.
    The gameplay is awesome.
    The sound and music - Money!

    This game is 5 stars all the way and recommended to ALL gamers.
    To all of those 13-17 year old gamers out there - This game is the type of game that was at the top for us who lived through the 80's gaming.
    Appreciate where we were and gladly still going (as many things are timeless - As are the Gianna Sisters!)


  • Perfect port from DS!

    I imported this game on DS from Germany for $90 but still got this because I love Giana sisters! PERFECT PORT! Although, if you could could please move the fire button from jump button because I keep pressing fire instead of jump and I keep dying!
  • Simply Awesome

    I've only played now for a half hour, and I love it! The game reminds me so much of playing one of those Mario games. It kinda has that New Super Mario Bros feel to it. If you like Mario, I highly suggest this game. Well worth the price!
  • Needs work

    Controls should be tweaked for efficiency. If you get a text or call mid game it has to load all over again. If you die then you just start where you leave off. This makes game too easy. Takes too much battery life due to loading after messages. Please make fixes and game will be great

    Wayyyy too easy to hit your head on the ceiling and kill yourself!
  • Really Nice Game

    This game is great. I'm not a big platformer fan but I really like this game. Mario or platform gamers should without a second guess buy this game.
  • Great game

    Great game but need option to have sound effects only with no music. Also would be good if playlists could be saved.
