    I never even finished the previous game, so this one is probably a pass. I just felt like there were waaaaaay too many "fight off the horde for 10 minutes." Really, there was one section in the game where you had to fight off groups and groups of enemies in a wide-open area with absolutely no place for coverage.

    Totally terrible design decisions. Again, this looks good, but nah.

    Funny, I don't remember any "fight off the horde for ten minutes" levels on Nova 2. There was one turret defense section, and a couple where you had to make your way through an alien horde, but nothing where you were out in the open -- with no cover, and no place to go -- fighting waves of enemies.

    My main problem with Nova 2 was the time/maze sequence at the end, which was an interesting change of pace but basically a memorization challenge. I also found the multilayer to be essentially broken by hackers. But I did in general enjoy the single player.

    I hope there is Game Centre integration in this one and I hope it isn't IAP dependant

    all in all looks good!

    Nope, not this week.
    All the reviewers said they would get a hands on of the multiplayer before release so probably three weeks or so.

    soon there will be hackers in this game too just like mc3 and the multiplayer will be ruined by these hackers. ppl will complain and gameloft will take 5 months to come up with a patch then it will be hacked again.

    Yeah the hackers ruined MC3 for me. Gave it up for a while and went back to it yesterday and the hackers were all over the place again. So deleted it this time.
    The same happened to MC2 and NOVA 2.
    I have hopes that Gameloft have their act together this time though. Hopefully.
    I'm probably being too optimistic though and will probably end up deleting it fairly fast if (when) it gets hacked

    Through the rain.
    I really hope this has actual AI instead of scripted enemies like mc3

    The Nova 3 gameplay preview looks pretty amazing. I have Nova 2 and it's not bad, even got the DLC for it but I found the graphics were average. It looks like these graphics will be just like Mc3 which is a good thing. I think Nova 3 will be right up there with the best FPS's on iOS.

    With the hacking, I'm sure Nova 3 will eventually get hacked. It happens continuously with Mc2 and Mc3 which are two of my favourite games. I still play Mc2, Mc3. If a game has a hacker, I just leave and go to another. Those 2 games are just too good to abandon.
