Mobile games are a very tricky genre in gaming. You have to know what to expect when you play them. A mobile game has to have a few simple qualities. It has to be playable, fun, and worth the money. Eagle Eye is definitely playable but falls into that gray area of the other two. The game has the same premise as the movie. You play as Jerry Shaw and Rachel Holloman who are the two civilians targeted by the Eagle Eye. I am not going to spoil the movie for you, but they are trying to do the bidding of the mysterious organization.

In the game, you have to jump, crawl, and make your way across the city and you will be able to play as Zoe, the government agent who is also trying to uncover what the hell is going on. There are various mini games such as hacking and lock picking. The controls are very simple. You use the Pearl button for jumping , running, and when a combat situation arises, punching and kicking.

All in all, its a decent game for the mobile genre. It will kill a few hours if you are really interested in the story. This game, like many mobile games, falls into the void between buy and don’t buy. If you are enthralled by the movie, then go for it. Otherwise, there are some better games out there. This would be a rental if you could rent games for mobile phones, but once you buy it, you own it.

For that simple reason, I would say pass on it.
