iQuarterback For The iPhone: A Pass-Rush of Fun

Many of us in our youth fantasized about being the quarterback, throwing the perfect pass to win the big game. Well, there's a lot of practice that goes into making the big throws, and rather than portray that epic moment in the the game, iQuarterback takes the task of learning to be a better quarterback, and makes it fun.

The games consists of a quarterback (you) trying to hit a series of targets as they cross the field. You have to remember to lead the receiver, and test your accuracy to score a bullseye, and additional points. There are three skill levels: college, pro, and all-star. Essentially, the skill level determines the speed of the targets as they cross the field. (It would've been funny if the all-star setting showed the quarterback not really trying, like the real pro-bowl, but I digress) You hold your finger on the screen to increase pass distance, and move it left and right to aim your throw. The time allotted in each round is the same, which can make it monotonous after awhile. With that said, I still found myself playing for longer periods of time than most iPhone games, especially games from the dollar bin.

It's a solid 99 cent game, but I'd like to see a pro version with obstacles, players instead of targets, and time extensions for reaching certain point totals. With those features, it might just become a $2.99 game worth having.
