8 of 15Nice comic book style game. Very addicting but keeps freezing when hitting the "next" button randomly. Other than that worth buying.
First thing, I find the art style very striking. For a John Woo game, it has a nice Sin City aesthetic to it, and one of the reasons this game caught my eye. My one major complaint is the controls: majority of the games is sort of on-rails, you're constantly pushing forward...sometimes the controls go bonkers, and I find myself getting trapped in between cars, or I get disoriented. Still, I'm oddly addicted to this game, even though it can be shameless at times (getting an achievement for purchasing cash? Seriously!?). It's more of a quick fix than something that will have me glued to the phone, but it's good to have when I got a little time to kill when I'm outside the house.
I enjoy the game, although it does get monotonous after a while. The graphics and style are unique and definitely show cinematic flair. I'm not very happy with the fact that I have to pay for the game AND do IAP to advance. One can theoretically move ahead without IAP, but a lot of grinding is needed. I'd prefer one model or the other -- the hybrid (neither fully paid not fully fermium) makes me feel somewhat cheated every time I play. A more serious problem is that the game pushes you very hard to integrate with Facebook, including some achievements which are unreachable without Facebook integration. Worst of all, once you give the game access to Facebook, it is later impossible to revoke that access. There's no obvious in-game setting to do so, and if you revoke it from Facebook's side, the game STILL tries to launch Facebook and re-request access every single time the game is launched. This is doubly annoying since the game freezes occasionally, so relaunching it is a multi-step process of opening the game, having the game open the Facebook app, clicking "cancel" within the Facebook app to prevent reauthorizing the game, then returning to the game. Frustrating!
Not that I'm complaining but when you boot up again you end up with a lot more crash because of this glitchy crash. Fix this. It's seriously ruining the game. Other wise the game is highly addictive. Also the $1000 achievement for purchasing cash does not work. I want the achievement that's owed to me. Once all these issues are fixed easily 4-5 stars.
Smooth graphics and UI. Pretty graphic but that's what you want for action/adventure game. Love the awesome female lead. Well done john woo/chillingo and moon shark!
Nothing but crash! Come on chillingo. This game gets a big zero.
Monotones gameplay but very solid picture, sounds and controls.
Haven't been able to play because it keeps crashing. I'm hoping they'll fix this.
