Gameloft is so sloppy: I've never encountered a bigger set of theives. Someone please alet me when this sale actually takes effect. Maybe next valentines...

rufflez says:

go to the blog, use your barcode scanner or click their link. works out to be 1.99 for those games

Davest says:

I tried both, they both said $4.99. Fail.

goblueboy says:

how much does the games originally cost? in the FAQ it just says it will show during download, which i do not want to do unless i know the price

tndank says:

Go to page. Click buy. Enter phone number. Get sms text that takes me to the same page I was just on. Round and round. Oh well. Might have bought one if possible.

I've had nothing but trouble with Gameloft. For example, when Dungeon Hunter refused to load on my DroidX after playing for 2 weeks, I could not reinstall because Gameloft is not on the market and they would not allow me to re-download. Dealing with Gameloft is a pain. A reputable company would put their games on the Market.

Chondog says:

Totally agree. I had a problems with Let's Golf 2 on my Dinc and emailed them right away. It took Gameloft almost a month to respond.

Quote:"A reputable company would put their games on the Market."
I completely understand what your saying, but you could have a company like EA Mobile that changes requirements on a game after you purchase it, and therefore when you try to re-install it from the market, it tells you that your paid app is no longer compatible with your device...

Lobout says:

Would love to, but as they don't support the Galaxy tab(at least the site says so), yet they showed off the games on the tab, it is a bit difficult to play and pay for something they won't let you download.

PookiePrancer says:

Same boat here. Absolutely stupid marketing for games on the Tab. Try to buy a game from the Tab? Sorry, your device is not supported. Well fine, Gameloft! I'll stick to games I can buy in the market.

sqlgeek#ac says:

No $1.99 love - only $4.99 buy one get one free. Tried it 20 different ways and can only get this $4.99 deal...

r-nice says:

I clicked on the link to buy for $1.99 and got a page cannot be found message.

dynomike1 says:

It does work, just not very well.

I found going to http://www.gameloft.com/android-hd-games/# on a computer, and then scanning the barcode will get the 1.99 version to pop-up. From there it kinda fumbled around to check-out, but eventually I got Sandstorm for 1.99 -- so it can be done. That said, Gameloft seriously needs to clean up their mobile interface and make things more transparent. This should not have been this difficult.

Bendroid55 says:

Didn't work for me. I went through the process all the way up to the confirm payment step and it was going to charge me $4.99.

dynomike1 says:

Yeah, u've got to get it were it appears as Buy 1.99 from the start, or it's not working. It does not take it off after-the-fact.

uansari1 says:

So if I'm constantly flashing different ROMs, can I redownload these games or not? Seems like too much of a hassle. I don't understand why Gameloft doesn't get to the Market already.

dynomike1 says:

Yes, once purchased you can always re-download the games although i always back them up with titanium.

Cyberhiker says:

"Sorry, but there are no available game [sic] for your mobile."

Not publishing to the Google Android Market = Fail

DarkWizard says:

just got let's golf 2 for $1.99 think I'll get some thing else.

mdmitchell13 says:

Gameloft is a very reputable company. they got back to me within 2 days for an issue i had. they are not on the market due to market limitations because they develope a game specifically for an individual phone. When I bought lets golf it was actually "lets golf htc evo" They have cross platform multiplayer and everything! Awesome company and by far the best games on android! Use the link on this page or go online and get a link sent to you. 1.99 works like a charm!
