Definitely true according to their review for MEI. They wrote the entire review as if this was supposed to be a full-fledged ME console game.
I haven't played enough of this game to make a definitive decision on it, but suffice to say I've had a LOT of issues with STP's reviews. Unless this turns out to be a broken mess, I can't see it turning out to deserve a "1". Hard to say though, since I think their whole rating system is a bit of a mess anyway.
Agreed. After their horrendous Super Crate Box review, I vowed never to let them become a factor in my App Store purchasing, but I think with a 1/4, I owe it to myself to at least just wait for another (any) review to show up before taking the plunge.
http://www.slidetoplay.com/story/mass-effect-infiltrator-review Holy shit. Gonna check this out myself later to see how it is.
after going thru the game folder with ifile i found test levels and prototype files this was definitely rushed for release hopefully they update this because this game is awesome n it feels inconplete to me
haha yeah i dont really put much stock in slide to play, when ever i read their reviews, i'm always thinking "does this person even like games that much?", but everyone is entitled to their opinion, just as we are entitled to have opinions on their opinions.
http://m.intomobile.com/2012/03/05/review-mass-effect-infiltrator-commander-shepard-would-approve/ A different take.
I played through this a bit, and in general, it's mediocre at best. While the game is called an action RPG, I'd say that's more marketing than actual substance. The storyline is basically an afterthought and the voice acting is poorly done. The biggest negative for me is the AI which is almost like waiting for deer to come out from the bushes. The shooting mechanism is poorly designed and I can't decide if they're just inaccurate or if I simply need to get some sleep. One of the bright spots is the controls which are pretty smooth with a few hiccups here and there as well as the great graphics. In general, the game isn't overly terrible, but there are definitely better designed shooters available.
Strange that the appinfo still hasn't picked it up yet - as far as I can see, it's out in the US. As for the StP review... It's really not that bad. Yes, this is NOT Mass Effect as you know it on the consoles. Speaking as someone who hasn't played any Mass Effect games, I found this rather interesting. And I actually like the voice acting - as opposed to Shadowgun. That review is very fishy.
We are alike. I spend less on other things, because I'd also rather have videogames. I have a s*** ton of XBox 360 games, many of which are top shelf quality: Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, Shadows of the Damned, Bulletstorm, Skyrim, Arkham City, Red Dead Redemption, etc..... I've got Kid Icarus Uprising and Spririt Camera (fatal frame) reserved for 3DS. I just got Super Stardust Delta and Mutant Blobs and getting Unit 13, Ridge Racer and Lego Harry Potter 5-7 for Vita soon...I want Virtua Tennis 4 also Downloading ME: Infiltrator As we speak off of the AppStore. Add me on PSN for Vita (if you haven't already Pacificsun0481)
I know some negative reviews have come in, but given the fact this is for ops, it's pretty good. Not great. But good. It runs well, and the graphics are gorgeous. The gameplay is...different, but enjoyable enough once you get used to it. There are some flaws, but My only major criticism is that the weapon sound effects sound almost nothing like in mass effect, and sound like regular guns
Big Name + Flashy Graphics will sell anything on the iOS. Why put the effort into gameplay when it will not significantly impact the bottom line? It's not like there's any danger of the franchise losing any credibility either, what with this being the iOS after all, and with how thankful we all should be for these scraps, for a mere seven bucks.
It's probably coming from people who're big fans of the Mass Effect series, or who had extremely high expectations for the game. Personally, I think it was over hyped. Look at the thread in the Upcoming Games section. People were very excited for the game, yet some people are slightly disappointed by the game. Did people actually expect a full-fledged Mass Effect game? I certainly didn't. When I start playing this game, I will probably enjoy it a lot since I haven't played any of the Mass Effect games before and I don't have high expectations.
Makes sense. I was excited for it, but I didn't really have an expectation, nor have I played over 10 minutes of any Mass Effect game.
I was a little excited for the game, but I really didn't dive into the details of the game or even the thread for that matter. I will be playing the game soon and will be posting my impressions tomorrow I guess.
Yup, looks like that tap to aim mechanic is as bad as it seemed from the videos. The team took their "no virtual controls" mantra from their last game and went too far. Still gonna get this, but I can't help but feel a tad disappointed.
