Review of
Galaxy on Fire 3D
|
| C j Gibbons | Surprisingly excellent for a mobile game - i've now racked up 10 hours or so and feel like i've only just scratched the surface!
Graphics are very good indeed, the core gameplay is good fun and very responsive. The missions get a bit repetitive, but that's hardly surprising and something that happens even in full-on pc games (yes freelancer, that means you!), so i'm not going to mark a 512kb game down for that.
The "trade" option is a bit disappointing - from the blurb I would have thought actual trade (i. E. Buying goods in one location and selling them in another) was possible, but this is limited to stuff picked up in space during the course of a mission, and is sell-only. I suppose a full galaxy-wide trade system might have been a bit of a stretch in a mobile game as well, but if elite managed it 20-odd years ago, I don't think it's undoable.
The one thing which is really annoying is the loading times. I'm aware this may be due to my handset rather than the game particularly (loading from the hard drive on an n91 may be slower than from flash memory - if I could work out how to move it to the phone memory I could check, but I can't so I won't), but it sometimes feels like I spend more time just watching the loading screens than actually playing the game.
Still, even with this problem, it's an excellent game. Probably the best game i've yet played on a mobile. If anyone at fishlabs is listening, a sequel with a beefed-up trade model would definitely be on my "to buy" list! |
| David King | Ok, this is probably the best game I have on my mobile! It has brilliant graphics, is in full 3d, and has two game modes - instant action and campaign. The first one says it all - you are dropped into a mission of your choice with the default ship. The campaign is the true crowning glory, though. You play through 12 (i think) missions which are automatically set. Then you get a hyperdrive and star map, and can go around to whatever planets you want, doing whatever missions you want! You can even buy a new ship, new weapons, and sell loot from your battles. You can do missions for both side of the conflict (humans v vossk) and an innovative loyalty meter changes according to who you do your missions for. If you are more loyal to one side, credirs from missions for them will be greater and goods from them will cost more. Planets have different tech levels which determine what you can buy there and for how much, and planets never stay the same. The only downside is slight repetitiveness, and one or two missions which you will really hate, but you can avoid doing these if you want to. A solid 9/10. |
| Nathan Lenehan | Wow! I never thought graphics could be this good on a mobile. The games fast pace and fast, smooth, detailed graphics actually gets the old pulse rate going at times as you really get into 'the zone'. Theres a decent enough story line thrown in with new weapons, accessories and ships to buy to keep you interested in the gameplay. This is a game benchmark by which other games can be graded, buy this game or you'll seriously miss out. |
