Cheap iPhone/ipod Touch games can be a blessing but they can also be a curse. Sky Babes vs. Fly Boys, crazy name and all, fits into the later category.

To start with the positives, this title looks pretty good for the device and the presentation is top notch. Charters also have a distictive look to them.

However, the most problematic part is the gameplay. There is absolutely no depth to this title. Controls involve tapping on one location to another to complete flights. The objective is to have more cash by completing more flights than the other planes on screen. Fuel costs increase as time passes but this element never feels like it is adding to the game. There is a countdown clock but when it reaches zero, it restarts multiple times until your opponents go backrupt.

No multiplayer modes are available and the entire single player is unlocked from the start. You can play on maps from around the world but you won't find much of an incentive to play more than a couple of times.

Sky Babes vs. Fly Boys could have been a fun game with a complete story mode or could have somehow giving the player the feeling of actually controlling a flight rather than just tapping over and over again.

Verdict: Pass
