ATC 4.0 Lite

This isn't a rip-off of Flight Control; I'd say it's an attempt to go FC one better. There are only so many variations on the theme, after all; Harbor Master and FC are the same basic idea and I enjoy them both (although I tend to favor HM). This game does present a challenge for those of us whose eyes aren't as good as they used to be, and I've only tried the thing twice, but already, I'm impressed by the look of the game. A lot of work obviously went into it, e.g. the shadows of the planes as they fly over the ground or river. So give the author(s) some credit!

Game is riddled with junk ads and only the first few levels are available for free. Greedy developers and another pay to play game.

A touch of clean up an fine tuning. I bought the full app and I do really like it. But the bottom quarter if the screen is used for a useless info window. If you could either loose that or somehow make the play area a little larger that would help with moving the tiny planes. A larger warning arrow in a more contrasting color would help to notice incoming aircraft. And the planes often do not land when they are properly lined up. The runway landing needs to be far more responsive. That is in my opinion all ATC needs to be a 5 star. Maybe make it so the info window can be hudden to make more room for larger plane icons? Please update. I want to live this game and give 5 stars.

This game is pretty much a complete rip off of flight control with a couple little twists to make it sound better. Altitude still plays no part of the game and those speed buttons on the screen shots do the exact same thing that the fast forward button button does in flight control. You can't tell airplanes to slow down or speed up climb or desend. Lame...

Creating an entertaining simulation game is difficult: you want a balance between realism and fun. ATC 4.0 achieves that in spades. The graphics and sound are awesome, and the game play is fantastic. There's a lot going on in this game: it's challenging and rewarding, like air traffic control itself. And most of all, it's fun to play.
