Ok guys ... how did my positive opinion on this game turned to be read as a negative one is an interesting thing ...
Way, way worth the lesser price. I can't recommend the game enough. I find it to be the BEST controlled TPS on iOS, as well as the best looking game on iOS.
Hobbling towards u as u shoot the limbs .. hmm .. sounds like zombie infection, which i did enjoy more than DS to be honest despite the inferior graphics ... ZI and SG did make me want to feel to play until the end ... in fact, gameloft's earlier terminator salvation was a pretty good cover and shoot game for that time, which has been vastly surpassed by SG ... again goes to show much ios gaming has progressed in just 2 short years
Im kinda surprised the levels are much bigger than i thought for that kind of graphic. There have been a review about this in some popular magazine and they said its unplayable due to the controls. What the dot are they talking about? Its perfect for me. Second level at doc lab now. First boss gave me chills. Hard fight even on easy, well, i shot him, timed his attacks and went for new ammos, i hope theres no easier way to beat him like most games. "Why did i waste 30 minutes to kill this guy when i could just go behind that ladder, pick up a bomb and two shot him?" i really hate when that happens. Long boss fights seems rare nowadays. I really hope the multiplayer update is really worldwide, not bluetooth etc. And hope it got ranking system, would be fun=) I am stunned by these graphic games but at the same time very sad. This shows that more game will be done for just 4s and we iphone 4 users will have bad graphics or lag I found the first secret item on stage 2 btw. Took me a bit to figure it out how to get it. No survival mode or boss modes yet? But, i really like the game.
I agree some of the 'area lockdown' gets a bit repetitive in Dead Space, but apart from that it's much better. Try playing it on hard and you can't do all you said above easily. You must have strategy on which to shoot first when surrounded by enemies, your ammo is limited, and once you get hit, you're pretty much dead. The sound and atmosphere of the game in Dead Space is better and the storyline (dialogue) for each level is definitely more compelling than in Madfinger. Also, bare in mind Dead Space was released 10 months ago. That was a LONG time in tech world. Back then, there were only a few pretty 3D games (RR2, IB and Dead Space), but now pretty graphics aren't such novelty anymore. Almost everyday there's a new unreal powered, pretty-ish looking game featured on the homepage. That said, I agree with you that Shadowgun itself is not as bad as people make it out to be, I can see the devs put a lot of effort into it. It's a good game, more compelling for me than the generic games from Gameloft like Backstab, 9mm, Gangstar, etc.
Yeah sales are cool and all, but I still wish for a single fee where the price is always set and never changes. In the app store, I see developers make a sale and then updates become far and few between. I have nothing wrong with sales as long as the developer supports the product, in which I think Shadowgun is doing.
Gave in! Downloading now! , gonna pull the trigger on Samurai II (last madfinger games missing on my collection) just to show some support 'cause i've read almost all of the pages on this thread and this devs have shown they're classy guys, keep on with the amazing ideas!!
They definately are supporting the project, another update just came out, and I see your point about the sale thing.
I am now at the level after the driller and still having fun! It is now my fav fps with moder combat 2.
Yeah first person shooter. I was simply making a silly "poke fun at you" kind of thing, cause SHADOWGUN is a TPS, or Third Person Shooter ^.^
As of latest update I seem to be getting a black screen when explosions happen. Never use to happen before this update. Please fix it asap!....this is on iPad 2. Not sure if others are having the same issue. Otherwise great game...keep up the good work.
I am almost done ..l. And while I must admit the fun level increases along the game, and the gameplay is as good as it gets ... The game lacks variety of enemies as they are few types and their behaviour stays the same. I was expecting smarter enemies towards the end. This said, MFG please give us a sequel !
