Touch Hockey Extreme app review: enjoy intense air hockey action

Introduction

Don't let the fact that you don't have an air hockey table stop you from having fun playing the game. How would you like an portable air hockey table? That's what you get when you download the Touch Hockey Extreme app for your iPad. With this app you'll be able to play air hockey whenever you like and enjoy the 3D graphics and challenging gameplay. There are a couple of modes of play including the addictive head-to-head action you can enjoy using WiFi.

Get Ready to Drop the Puck

It's time to drop the puck and let the action begin. This app blends 3D graphics with fun sound effects and multi-touch gesture recognition that is incredibly intuitive. This app really comes to life thanks to the fact it is meant for your iPad and takes advantage of the beautiful full screen. What's crazy is how many downloads this app has: 16 million users. In fact it has such a following that it has even been featured on the hit TV show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. With so many apps available it’s hard to get noticed so this feat alone is impressive.

Now for the not-so-positive comments. This app has a rather unimpressive three-out-of-five-star rating. It's currently being offered for free but there is an in-app theme pack offered for $2.99.  Users seem to feel that the app needs some polishing and a bit more attention paid to the user interface. Some of the controls and features are hard or tricky to access leading to some frustration from players.

Graphics and Gameplay

The graphics are rather cute and thanks to the 3D animation it feels more realistic. In general the app is responsive but again some users have had issues in this area as well. The multi-player WiFi gameplay mode is clearly the high point and makes this game challenging and a whole lot of fun. You and your friends can enjoy an intense match without having to even be in the same country. You can adjust the difficulty level of the game and there are four different game lengths from which to pick. The game uses real-time 3D mallets and you can even watch instant replays of fabulous shots and plays. When you launch the app you can choose from WiFi multi-player, two-player, or single-player mode.
