Quick Review: N.O.V.A. Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance HD (iPad)
Price: $9.99
App Store Link: Full / No Lite Version
Verdict: Love it
Replay Value: Very High
Pros:
Stunning graphics; fully customizable UI; great gameplay; local and online multiplayer deathmatch.
Cons:
Default UI is awkward (customize it!); nothing new over iPhone version.
Bottom Line:
N.O.V.A. HD is a stunning FPS (first person shooter) for iPad. While the default controls make playing the app on iPad seem incredibly unwieldy, customizing the layout in the options menu makes all the difference. If you enjoy the genre, are a fan of X-Box’s Halo series, or just love multiplayer deathmatching, N.O.V.A. HD is highly recommended.
Repurchase if you own the iPhone Version?
Only if you play a lot of multiplayer; the larger screen makes the experience much more enjoyable.
