    Nova3 on iPhone 4
    Campaign:framerate good enough, playable,good graphics and textures but no shaders or real time reflections on armor or guns. I know that iPhone 4 can move shaders well like in Shadowgun

    Multiplayer: unplayable because the lag and the draw distance Of the enormious map that You cant see very well wtf is infront Of you, because there is too much fog

    Holy crap, 1.5 gigabytes!? Is that install size or the raw file from the app store?

    Galaxy on fire 2 HD lets you actually swap from ipad 3 retina to ipad 1-2 res in the options, nova 3 should have had that option too I guess.

    I do all day. It's f*cking brilliant. Especially for comics. Plus all the iPhone-only games that are retina look a million times better '2x' than on the older iPads. I wouldn't swap it for anything.

    Threads for major new Gameloft releases are always so much more entertaining than the actual game. If they ever catch on they'll charge us IAP for reading.

    So this is my first impressions after the 2 first single player levels.
    It runs great on my iPad 2! It looks great and plays great. The slow-mo effect is quite cool aswell. The voice acting is actually good in this one, with some quirky lines that will make you chuckle. :D

    My only real complaints is I can't find the dodge button, nor a melee button.

    So this is my first post, hope it's appreciated! And excuse my english, I'm swedish, haha.

    i needed over 4gb of space to download and install this game, just put in an hour on the campaign, the lag isnt too bad on campaign...the game jumps sometimes but for the most part its playable, when theres alot going on and you go to aim down the sight it freezes for a second, id give the playability of it 8/10, however ive tried about 10 different multiplayer matches and every single one is terribly laggy. it runs smooth until you go to fire or run into an enemy or explosion then it just freezes pretty much...3/10. game has potential but i dont think it should have been released yet.

    I'm very tempted to buy this game at launch, but I have a feeling I'll be paying full price only to end up with another Gameloft game with a really blindly overrated crappy single player campaign like 9mm and Nova 2.

    Ahhhh, I must not succumb to the temptations of buying a good looking FPS on a mobile device. You can do it Psy.

    Looks like another game fail. All sizzle with no steak!

    Typical!

    just got to the first part where you split up teams, on my ipad 3 this thing runs at a rather poor frame rate when in action, hardly any visual flair outside of some gun light and being hit, no motion blur, not that many particle effects, choppy frame rate.

    I hope this stuff is addressed soon otherwise really it's false advertising to say you can do all that stuff but not say that it can't be seen on an ipad 3, rather lame.

    Typical Gameloft game...Shark Dash is very good though. I'm still surprised Gameloft made it.

    I see a lot of talk about multiplayer glitches/bugs, but how smooth is the campaign, and more importantly, is it fun to play?
