    I'm definitely buying this right away. Just because there are a few bugs, won't discourage me from buying this game because it's awesome. Just remember guys, infinity blade 2, black ops zombies, modern combat 3, all had tons of bugs on release and their all incredible games now.

    Not only that your getting a console quality game for 6.99. No brainer !

    I find it nearly comical that so many people are bashing the multiplayer ON LESS THAN DAY ONE. C'mon now, when was the last time you had a game, console or iOS, have perfect multiplayer on day 1? Never. They still need to work out the kinks and i guarantee it will be fine within the next week.

    Yeah the multiplayer lag at the moment is massive.
    In that game I played with you, you kept dissapearing from in front if me to behind me to nowhere. Other players appeared from nowhere. Then again I had this problem with mc3 too on launch day and it got sorted out so gonna reserve judgement on that part for a bit.

    The Maps are massive from what I've seen so far and there is an awfull lot of potential for some great gameplay once the lag is cleared up.
    The graphics are, on an iPad 2, top notch.
    I'm actually loving the single player so far. And I still haven't bothered to finish Mc3 campaign.
    Hate that damn jump button though.
    I'm glad I bought the game, definitely, but I really really enjoy the mc3 multiplayer (before the hackers fxxxed it up), so not sure if I'll enjoy this more.
    Will play on and see.
    Would still recommend buying it though because despite some initial faults, there is no doubt it's a top notch fps.

    Anyways, if I have enough, this is definitely downloading tonight.

    Yes my questions exactly. How was it "rushed"? "a million bullets to kill someone"? Really? Or is it just that the game is different, the maps are bigger (thus harder to be accurate at long ranges) and there are those rechargeable shields? Tell me how it was rushed!

    I very much fancy Robyn, Lykke Li and Asha Ali

    I'm also excited for Nova 3 on iPad 2...

    Could it be that the beefed up ram, GPU and A5X are merely able to render the resolution +/- a few bells and whistles? I didn't upgrade as the retina would seem like a processing wash against its predecessor. As long as this looks mighty on iPad 2, I'm happy.

    Maybe he doesn't want to spend his money on something he might not end up enjoying?

    I'm still waiting for someone to see how laggy it is for iPhone 3GS because I either want to buy this or infinity blade 2. If the multiplayer is the only laggy part I can deal mc3 was the same thing

    Yes, it's so lag on Iphone 3GS. By the way, in Iphone 4, there is a little lag, too.

    If this is how gamelofts premium games are going to be? Wtf happened with this game? You got to be kidding me. It's a damn shame that this game was put out like this. It's also a damn Shame that apple released a device with a processor that can barly run this beautiful display. People say to give it time for devs to crank out games that fully utilize the a5x chip but if u ask me for what that device is "which is a gaming console that's 9 inches big with more pixels then my $4,000 55in Samsung" it should be sporting two quad core processor. I'm just getting fed up with apple. Every year there's a device change and spec bump which never gives the devs any time to really work with the device. By the time people figure out wtf to do about this a5x chip, the a6 will be out. Ugh, sorry for blowing this thread up but it sucks that I've made iOS gaming my choice gaming platform for 3 years now and I must say its getting to the point where the amount of true high end titles is very few and far between. Anyway goodnight guys. I'll still buy this game tonight.

    P.S- Thank god for sf4 volt.

    Tried it out on iPhone 4s. It looks to me like the graphics, effects, lighting and particles that are present in iPad 2 are there in iPhone 4s as well. Looks fantastic on it. Plays very smoothly, no frame rate problems at all so far. Button response excellent.
    Very impressed with the visuals on the 4s, runs exactly like on iPad 2 for me.
    Yes there are bugs, it is Gameloft after all, but still at the price it's awesome I think.

    Was there some other choice of processor Apple could've used? What they did use is basically right up against the limits of what was available and what could be used in a device like the iPad 3. And as has been said many times, games do not have to run at the full resolution of the display to look great.

    The games alright...I honestly thought the vehicles and big levels would be cool but it's not as polished as mc3. I already deleted it. :/
