Oh yeah. This is
very fun. Some things I noticed in this game (Please note that this is a title still in development, so any small things I complain about will most likely be fixed when this is released):
*Sensitivity on the touchscreen can be altered, so it is much more easier to spin around or turn your character and keep on moving. The control scheme is very nice.
*You can pause the game, turn off the PDA, and come back to it almost flawlessly (You cannot initially see what is onscreen and must just click in the center to resume play, and some graphics are missing colors until the next load.)!!!
*There are numerous checkpoints throughout the levels, although I am hoping for a few more in level 3...
*There are 3 difficulty levels, Easy, Normal, and Hard.
*D-DAY is an unlockable level!!!
*There is
no health bar, but you can tell how hurt you are by how red the screen is glaring. Just stand still (or duck!) out of your enemy's line of sight, and you can heal over a brief amount of time.
*You have a teammate who can repair things such as phone lines if you should forget to do that. He is also not a bad shot, especially considering he's an AI unit.
*There is music and sound effects, as well as some voices. The ambience in this game is grreeeaaattt, there are numerous background noises such as planes flying overhead, bullets in the distance, tanks and other vehicles (I even saw an enemy tank in level 3, which was actually moving past where I was going to go!)...
*There are interactive objects! I have so far encountered a mounted machine gun, which was used to mow down a hallway of enemies (Haha fun), and a phone line, which I and my comrade were sent out to repair.
*There are lots of different weapons. The game keeps track of ammo very nicely, and you are allowed to carry two weapons at the same time. Grenades are also used, and are very effective, though I don't think you can decide on throw strength at this time in development. I also think the rifle-type weapons have a deeper "Tap-and-Shoot" mode.
All in all, a very great experience!
MUCH more to come, like a complete preview and some videos, over the coming weekend. This is very exciting!!! :-D
HUGE UPDATE: I just got word that this game will definitely have
multiplayer!!! :approve: Whether or not this will be over the internet, Adhoc, or Bluetooth I do not yet know, but hopefully I can get that tidbit of info later. This is great news, and totally unexpected!
