8 of 25Really good one,the graphics is bad for the new iPad graphics chip we want 3'D part of this game wanna a better graphics 'n' better story.
This os horrible at first it's great and then it becomes a Fu$&ing game ! It's to hard story gets stupid and no lore animating in the game! Uuuu very smart game loft u now decided to only show the good parts of the no weakneses huh? Don't but it waste of $6!
So when you spend $6 on a game you expect way more than this game has. Do your self a favor and do not buy it, the controls are crap and the camera system is beyond stupid. That is the last time that I don't listen to the reviews about a game. O ya and by the way game loft I have had no sound the entire time I played
seriously? apple, you know i only have an ipod touch. how can you let me buy ipad app without warning?
I'd love to give this app 5 stars. The graphics, the story, and the level builds are outstanding. But, weak controls (actually weak is an understatement) and horrible camera movement really bring the rating down. The pros: The graphics, while not cutting edge any more, are still outstanding. The monster skins are very well done, and the backgrounds are phenomenal. The level builds are where this game shines. While you may be mostly running and slashing, the levels are built to make every new battle feel fresh. A few puzzles thrown in, and you have evidence that the developers put a lot of thought into the level design. Outstanding. The cons: The controls are abysmal, at best. Trying to jump is nigh impossible with any accuracy. The frustration comes. When you have to move very accurately to get to your goal. Because the controls are so bad, expect a lot of falling deaths, and subsequent level restates. The camera is also a problem. The auto-movement of the camera will drive you nuts. Not only will it hide your goals and monsters at times, but as the camera changes, you also must shift your movement to accommodate. With difficult controls to begin with, you find yourself cursing the game. All in all, while you find yourself cursing the game, you also find yourself compelled to keep playing. A very good game with some very major drawbacks, which could frustrate a player more than the design can compensate.
I am disgusted with Gameloft on this game. FIrst of all, you can only take about 4 hits without dying. Also, it has incredibly annoying camera angles where you can barely see the people you're fighting. Ugh.
Thanks for this game and I love Hero of Sparta 2. I'm really waiting for another game like this better then ever!!!
Well, the game is visually appealing but the controls are terrible. The jumping mechanism needs a lot of work. Sometimes the camera gets stuck in an awkward place and there's nothing you can do about it so you have to jump anyway. There is no way to gauge how far your jump will go or really in what direction. Oh, and apparently Argos can't survive in ankle deep water. Even if you are standing near water and your foot happens to touch it, you automatically die. And falling off a ledge is way too easy when you have no control over the vantage points. In other words. Wait for the kinks to get kited then buy it...
