    This should help while waiting for the Order & Chaos 1.1 patch to get online this month.

    While I was a bit disappointed to find out that there is no block button, and no advanced set of maneuvers (I had truly hoped this would be one of the first truly skill-based and sophisticated melee simulations for iOS) and that combat, as a result, is yet another hackfest, this is probably still one of the most exciting releases on my wishlist.

    I like Gameloft's Apple-like strategy: don't hype it until it is ready to be released. Instead of waiting for months for many titles, they appear out of nowhere, only a few days from availability.

    Really? I would exactly call 2 months a few days. Or say that when it has been rumored for ages that this would be out before months end.

    Hence "Apple-like", not an exact copy of Apple's release strategy. What I am partial to is that regardless of rumors, speculation and early previews, Gameloft refrain from posting speculative dates, and when they actually announce the release date, it is very close at hand. This separates them from many (though certainly not all) other iOS devs.

    Yes! Horses!!


    Shame they're using the same, over-used ledges that you have to shuffle left and right on and jump between. It's basically a boring, slightly interactive cut-scene!

    Wowsa. Almost pretty enough to make me forget about the lack of a block button and advanced combat mechanics...

    Wow. That's amazing. I never expected that out of Gameloft. IMO it looks better than their Unreal game from current footage.

    This is compatible with 3rd gen devices right?

    How long did it take you to beat the game. Also is it very linear or is there an open world element?

    Right here, of course
    From what he said in his other posts, it seems primarily open world.

    Reviews of the Android version seems to support this. Open world, albeit with rather linear missions.

    Awesome, that's good to know. Now does anyone know about length?
