    Definitely NOVA 2. I just finally beat the game and I have to say it now ties the original NOVA as my favorite Gameloft game of all time. You won't do wrong when purchasing NOVA 2.

    It really depends upon if you liked the first dungeon hunter a lot and which genre you like more.

    You pick up new weapons as you progress in the game.

    You choose the loadouts as you get higher and higher ranked in nova 2 just like you do in mc2, but there are also weapons to pick up around the map. It's very balanced and gives beginners a change to contend with players who are level 50+. Since you already have Aralon, go with Nova 2. It's my favorite Gameloft game so far, and that's really saying something since I'm a big fan.

    It'll run perfectly, but of course the graphics will be dumbed down by quite a bit since you're missing retina.

    Not really I just took these couple of shots on mine graphics are still great gameplay is very fluid dont forget the touch 3rd gen 32gb and 64gb has exactly the same graphics chip as the 4 series.

    I like both dungeon hunter 2 and Nova 2 though so it's really what genre you prefer more both are good games.

    Wrong. The 3rd gen is missing the Retina screen (the 4th gen is missing PROPER Retina screen as well so that's a moot point) and only have 3GS hardware. Now big levels/lotsa players multiplayer matches run like utter shit on 3GS so be aware of that.

    If they run like shit on third gens then they run likes shit on the fourth gens as well because its the same GPU (PowerVR SGX GPU 535) on both 3rd and 4th Gens in fact the same GPU in the Ipad as well.

    actually unfortunately the 3GS suffers from a fill rate issue which doesn't necessarily make up for its 4x less pixels, because it uses a 32-bit memory bus. also, its processor doesn't have as much cache OR run as fast, which means the CPU is contending more with the GPU, and the CPU is very important for big multiplayer games.

    the flash is a lot slower which will lead to larger hiccups as chunks of levels are loaded...

    HOWEVER games usually have FSAA turned on now on the 3GS. if Gameloft was careless and neglected to test it properly they may have discovered it couldn't keep up with FSAA on. it's the ONLY reason it shouldn't be outperforming the iPhone unless CPU is *really* important.

    No it won't if anything it will run smoother than the fourth Gens as it doesn't have to deal with Retina and I've seen none of those problems on any game and I have all the newest ones..

    Take it from someone who has actually played it on a 3rd gen it runs perfectly and the graphics are great.
