My favorite iPad game
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this game. Since the last update, it has become my favorite iPad game, by far. It captures the essence of what made previous ANNO games (for PC) great fun, and it adds a great multi-player element. I have spent countless hours playing this game, and it really never gets old.
With that said, as great as this game is, there are a lot of frustrating problems with it still. There are performance problems with the various animations of the game, and there are frustrating features of the interface (such as having to scroll through your entire list of ships before you get the option to add a new route. Grrr!).
By far the most embarrassing problem that needs a high priority fix is to build fault-tolerance into the network connection.
The slightest hiccup in network connection drops the game. As a result, ANNO is practically unplayable on my Mifi connection, and I assume the same would be true if you are trying to play over a cellular connection. Most games that require an Internet connection dont have this problem.
