The classic I Dig It returns remastered and ready for the current iOS devices. * "campaign mode is surprisingly deep, and continued mastery takes a long, enjoyable time.", MacWorld * "I Dig It has kept me coming back for more. I'm a sucker for games that have a great art style, and there are few games that rival that of I Dig It.", Touch Arcade * Bringing elements of strategy and classic arcade gameplay together with an interesting plot make this game stand out from the rest, justifying its number one position in the App Store", Gamer Syndrome ************** Fallen on hard times, farmer Lewis converts an old bulldozer into a fantastic high-tech “diggin” machine. Help him dig up stuff to sell (60+ unique diggings) in a race against the clock to pay the mortgage and save the farm (campaign mode). In addition there are 4 mini-game challenge matches, plus open-ended free play mode, offering hours of game play. Manage fuel, temperature, and damage while searching for diggins.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Razer Cortex Mobile at Free against I Dig It Remastered's $2.99. Razer Cortex Mobile also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.4) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 107). I Dig It Remastered's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 17). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
