Unlike the preponderance of iPhone games, this one actually uses the different components of the iPhone UI in interesting ways (you tip the phone to "pour" ingredients, drag bits and bobs around to assemble garnishes, etc.). The music and setting are not bad. I wouldn't claim that they're really the "tiki bar atmosphere" that, say, this community would create if given free reign to make art assets for such a game (an Indian chief? Really?), but at least it's not Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville(tm) Mix-o-lator or what have you. I will simply say that I find the lounge-y soundtrack and classic bent of the cocktail recipes to be a nice addition to a well-made, fun bartending/drink-mixing game. I don't feel like I wasted my $2.
