Superb Sentinel

Sentinel 2 (US$2.99), is another stunning application in the Tower Defence genre. Origin8 has successfuly differentiated this Tower Defence app from the many others out there on the application market. This game has the same goal as all the other games in its genre, to stop a certain enemy from reaching a certain point. Sentinel 2, however, provides a stroyline and reason for the defense of your tower (which in this case is a spacecraft named The Sentinel).

Unlike other Tower Defence applications, Sentinel 2 has a story which is consistent throughout. The enemies are all of a particular type and are attacking for a specific reason. In many other Tower Defence games, there is no reason whatsoever why you are being attacked, you just are. Sentinel 2's storyline makes you feel as if you are really the commander in charge of defending your craft. This adds a personal aspect to the game, which is missing by most of the other applications in the genre.

Sentinel 2 also has some extra features, which help seperate it from the competition. These features include a "mission" mode, with 10 different missions, each being more difficult than the previous. These missions have different objectives and enemies than the regular campaign levels. You also have the option to listen to your own music during game play and this feature isn't hidden behind four options menus, which means it is very simple to find.

The visuals are amazing and really help create an overall polished effect throughout the entire game, this includes game play, menus and everything in between. Sentinel 2 is very well designed, very well organised and extremely enjoyable to use. If you want to add to your collection of excellent and enjoyable applications, you must purchase this application.
