Dude, I'm totally supposed to be writing a review right now. Yeah dude, I should be writing, but I just can't put this new game down. Yeah, it's awesome dude, you gotta check it out! Yeah it's called A.D.D. and it's FINALLY in the iTunes app store. Yeah, after a six month approval process it finally got released!! Yeah, I'll hold while you go download it, go now dude. Yeah go ahead, GO NOW!!
This has to be the most random, irreverent game in the app store, but it is awesomely addictive. With somewhere near seventy plus different mini games, and three modes of play, A.D.D. will, ironically, keep your attention for a good long time.
A.D.D. is entirely made up of mini games, and herein lies the genius. Instead of playing a game for hours, with the hopes of getting to the mini game bonus rounds, Iugo Mobile has taken out the main game and just left the mini games. (There is a bonus round included, but you are guaranteed to play it every ten rounds.) Each mini game only lasts for a few seconds, but each mini game uses a unique feature of the iPhone. For example, one game may use the accelerometer, while another game may use tap or swipe gestures. You can even listen to your own music while you play. All of this together makes A.D.D. a very desirable app.
A.D.D. has three modes of play. The three modes are Quickplay, Practice, and Hardcore. To be quite honest, I really don't see the difference between Quickplay and Hardcore modes except for the difference in mini games played during each mode. Each of these two modes starts by jumping straight in to the mini games and playing until you lose your last life. The one distinction I could make, was that you can't play Hardcore mode until you unlock it by beating all the challenges in Practice mode. In Practice mode there are sets of mini games which follow a theme. In my opinion, Practice mode is the best choice when playing, because you will play a wider variety of the mini games compared to the other modes.
The themes in this game may not be appropriate for all people. There is quite a bit of crude humor that not everyone will appreciate. If you don't enjoy doing things like taking a paparazzi shot up a celeb's skirt, or guiding a piece of food through a digestive tract, or spelling naughty words like MILF and TURD, then this game is not meant for you. If you do enjoy these things, then you've just hit the jackpot.
Even though the mini-games only last a few seconds each, time is truly of the essence. Every time you successfully complete each task, time is added to your score. The longer you play, and the higher the level you reach, the better you do on the leaderboards. You have the choice of submitting your score locally, or to the world leaderboard by geographic region. The in-game score board lets you filter your results for easy viewing.
I've only found one thing that needs to be improved upon in this game. Even though there are seventy or more mini games, I find myself playing the same mini games over and over again. The randomization could definately be worked on to insure that at least every game gets played. Other than that, I don't see need for any other improvements.

Priced at $2.99 in the iTunes app store, A.D.D. is definately worth adding to your iTunes wish list. Even if you don't play this game every day, you will definately find yourself returning time and time again to quell the boredom of everyday life. This is a great time-waster for when you find yourself sitting in a waiting room, or sitting in the stands at a Pep Rally waiting for the cheerleaders to come out. I can highly recommend this game to anyone who has a good sense of humor, that enjoys a fast paced, yet totally random game. Go out and grab this one now.
