Are You Ready To Take On Mission Sandstorm? Gameloft's Highly Anticipated FPS Is Now Available
September 3, 2009
If you are at all interested in first-person shooters, you are probably already aware of Gameloft's Modern Combat: Sandstorm for the iPhone and iPod touch. The game has garnered a lot of interest from fans of the genre mostly because of its highly polished visuals, and now that it is finally available, it's time to check out what else the game has to offer.
Modern Combat: Sandstorm is by far the best looking shooter available for the iPhone and iPod touch, but surprisingly it also has a pretty smooth framerate. The game features 10 varied missions through Middle Eastern environments, wide range of weapons including assault rifles, RPG, shotgun, and grenades, multiple difficulty levels, and three different control schemes.
Being an iPhone FPS, one would assume the controls would be a bit challenging, but surprisingly they are pretty easy to get acquainted with. The default control system features works well, and together with the smooth framerate, you should be mowing down bad guys without a problem. By default the game features an aut0-aim system, but that can be disabled.
Modern Combat: Sandstorm has already been extremely well-received in the App Store with the average rating being a perfect five stars. That reception should get even better with the promised addition of multiplayer through updates.
Modern Combat: Sandstorm is now available for $6.99. I am certain some of you have already given it a good play through, so let's hear what you have to say in the comments section below.
