    Just put an hour into it on my iPod touch 4g - yup, had to have about 4GB free to down it. Just jumped into multiplayer - its a good thin you cn run real fast in this because the maps are huge! I don't really care about the graphics, all I want is good gameplay and control and this does an okay job. Like MC3 I find it really hard to have accuracy when shooting/sniping. A lot of people, myself included, do the two man dance until one guy finally kills the other after three clips are emptied. Unlike in MC2 where everything runs smoother and accuracy and control is fine tuned - more headshots! On purpose! This feels hectic - will put more hours into it though and enjoy that $7 I spent.

    Doom 3 was really good on the original Xbox. Good physics, dynamic lighting, dynamic shadows, fairly good textures all around, good bump mapping, and looks even better emulated on a 360 with AA added to it.

    Haven't played NOVA 3, but I doubt it has things like dynamic lighting and shadow effects. I'm not the best person to judge however...haven't played the game yet.

    Got 10 kills in a row no deaths... I have to say that the gun you start of with takes a full clip to kill someone.

    Yup, downloading right now and can't wait to play. 7 bucks for this game, a steal !

    People spent 7 bucks on Mass Effect which is only a campaign game. There's just no comparison. Gameloft kicks butt when it comes to FPS games !

    It looks really good on the new ipad even without all the bells and whistles that the second gen has. I'm hopibg we will see an update for that sooner thzn later though but knowing gameloft... Any what matters is that the game is great!

    Once again, I totally agree. My point was merely that the latest iOS devices can be pushed, prodded and optimized to crank out spiffy graphics somewhat comparable to the current 7 yr old consoles. They'll eventually catch up to those old consoles in a year or two. (by then the Xbox 720 will be out).

    What I wish is that devs wouldn't run a game at the new iPads 1080p+ resolution, but focus on those console elements we know and love. It can run it, just not at native resolution. Framerate, effects, and resolution are my top items in a game's graphical department, in order of importance

    There's dynamic lighting, full rag doll physics engine, and waaayyy better textures and character models that the original doom game.

    So is this worth getting on the iPhone 4?

    Don't really want to pay £4.99 for something which is bad.

    I think the iPad 3 effects will come in a later update. The 3 can run it, it's just gameloft was in to much of run to even build a retina optimized game. Pocketgamer said in their hands on a week ago that gameloft didn't have a retina build yet. So be patient, it'll (maybe, knowing GL) come. I personally hope for fully customizable controls like mc3...

    If you're willing to put up with the occasional framers the issue, yes. Without a doubt. It reportledly works well (campaign wise) on the itouch 4.

    Yeah Halo 2 had ok graphics for its time, still a really good a game though.

    Well I guess I'll be playing you guys online in Nova 3 when it drops to under a buck, peace out till then :D

    Fully customizable controls are in, you need to be in game then go to controls and scroll down. You'll see the "customize interface" button. You'll be able to move everything around with it.


    No support for gamecenter at all. While i prefer gameloft live for multiplayer i wish it had achievements with gc...
