This is *NOT* for an Android Phone (only Kindle Fire!!!!)
(I thought I'd write this review as it seems unclear from Amazon's description. Please vote this up so others can see this, thanks.)
This App from the Amazon AppStore is ONLY for the Kindle Fire. Not your Android phone. Not your Samsung Galaxy Tab. Not your rooted Nook Tablet. Only the Kindle Fire. Hence "Kindle Fire Edition."
I have a (international version, unlocked) Samsung Galaxy S II (GT-i9100) with an AT&T SIM right now and I'm running the phone version of this game. The only way to get Gameloft's game for the Android PHONE is to go directly to their site and download the .apk and install them that way. It is not available in the Android Market, or Amazon AppStore. (You have to enable downloads and installs of non-Market applications in your settings to install APKs directly).
In any case, the game itself: I'm running the game perfectly fine on my Galaxy S2 (1.2GHz dual core, 4.3" screen). It drains battery really fast, so be sure to be plugged in if you're doing any serious quest runs or raids. However, it doesn't eat that much data (and works over 3G and "4G" (HSPA+ on AT&T on my phone)) without lag. Graphics are very smooth and not jumpy. Overall feel and artwork is just like Blizzard's World of Warcraft, which I've played for 2-3 years (quit 5 years ago). It's amazing how great this looks on a mobile phone, and how playable it is. Think of it as "WoW Mobile". Without some of the tedious tasks associated with WoW (if you played WoW, you know what I mean: Rep grinding; 10, 20, 40 man raids...)
