# Samurai Flash vs Ice Man 3D

Samurai Flash and Ice Man 3D both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of Samurai Flash's written reviews are positive against 55% of Ice Man 3D's. Ice Man 3D's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
