Game Review – Glow Hockey HD for the iPad

Glow Hockey is an air hockey game for the iPad that has a vibrant, glow based design. Not to much to explain the mechanics, it’s air hockey. I’ve played it for 10 minutes and I have a serious problem with the single player AI. There are four levels that range from Easy, to Medium, to Hard, and to Insane. I started out on Hard and I was able to sit in front of my goal, essentially doing nothing and the computer scored on itself 7 times while only getting past me once. So there is some serious fixing needed for the AI.

Fortunately I bought this for the two player WiFi/Bluetooth mode to play against my daughter. If you are looking at this as a solo game, you might want to look elsewhere. I just got back from playing head-to-head with my 4yr old and it was great. It’s hard to find game that they can understand how to play and fun at this age. She is getting very good at Arkanoid but was amazed at how I was controlling half of his game from my iPad.

So a bit of a thumbs down on the AI but thumbs up on the head-to-head!
