Reading the 148apps review, it really sounds like they made it to Mission 5 and then wrote the review up.... The whole last half of the game can get pretty damn intense. I can't wait to replay it all on the Hard Difficulty.


Anyway... 148apps hasn't really been a site a count on when it comes to reviews for at least the last year... if not year and a half... most of the time they seem completely out of touch with the true meat of the games that they 'review'

Probably, because I've only played till mission 5 or 6 and possibly that is why I agree with 148apps, usually I don't though.

Depends on review, this one I agree, because that's how I've felt through the first missions.

I don't agree with the 148apps review at all. Especially when they talk as if the game is just completely relaxing and exploring. I agree that it's not a fast paced shooter or something, but it's definately got some challenge to it -- not just coasting around leisurely exploring. If that was all there was too it, pretty looks and some exploring, I wouldn't be enjoying it.

I'm not even playing on hard and I still get frustrated sometimes dying far into a level (mostly those damn mines that come hurling towards you if you get too close or go by them too fast).

Seems like they really did only play the first few levels.

woot! Replaying on my iPad, I've got the Platin medals for the training missions, and Missions 1-6, as well as the Time Trophies. =oD

I... a am... a I a am a Kickin tha butt... badoodoop.

oh yeah... and this time around, I'm writing down what missions all the artifacts are hidden in... =oP

Can anyone confirm if this update includes Retina visuals for the iPad 3 or just regular iPad visuals (1024x786)?

Just wanna make sure before I spend $5

The game portion is Retina, but everything else is not. I'm sure they'll update it soon because it looks pretty bad.

You mean like the UI and menus and stuff arent retina?

Correct. And the in-game text is impossibly small.

Strange... Must be an iPad 3 issue only. On the iPad 2 the text is very readable. I can hold my device about 3 feet away and still read it just fine. =o/

Anywho...

Going through the game again, I'm finding all the artifacts I couldn't find the first 3 times I went through. =oD

Now I've got the first 7, and know where at least 2 more are... But I can't wait to have everything upgraded. Gonna be one badass ship once it all is. =oD

Also got the Platin Medals and Time Trophys for Missions 1-10. =oD

Hope Game Center is included in a future update...

If you can read the text at the top of the screen in this example from 3 feet away, I will be impressed. There is definitely a problem with some of the graphics on the iPad 3. Also, some of the interface / menu elements are extremely low-res. ( I mean lower res than the regular iPad) But hopefully, these things can be improved in a future update.
