With the migration of the active games with the usual home computers to mobile devices are changing and leaders. Although in the past attended the division of players on the connoisseurs of graphic and "important to the atmospheric and interesting," limited power of smartphones and tablets certainly brought in leaders of a primitive graphic terms, toys, and no Call of Duty on them not to wait I had.

There is a time, too, are technology, and now in the app stores popping game, show that seasoned gamers to 5 years back and asked if they believe that this is rendered literally on the phone, in reply could only hear "Impossible." And now on iPads and geleksi Nout smartly run toys, the graphics are not inferior to many console development. On one of these games I would like to tell you.

It's called Shadowgun and released by the developer, known in the past for a very successful Samurai series. But the essence is not in the one who made the game, and how the game looks, and how to play it. In the chapter just put here the schedule. Indeed, from a high-quality rendering of everything at the moment you cease to believe that you hold in the hands of a tablet. In all of this on the third-generation iPad Shadowgun just flies, with the smoothness of its much faster than Android version that easily noticeable even at a demo of the gameplay.

On the subject of much talk is not necessary. It is a shooter, and there is no place nozzle. Only action, only hardcore. We land on a distant space station and ordered to find some kind of scientist. Okay, just give more ammunition. The cartridges come in handy here, because despite some intimacy levels (this is clearly done for the sake of graphics) enemies here quite a lot.

Shooter Of course it is difficult to call a tactical, although some elements of that force include the brain, is still there. For example, although our hero and looks like a dog pereevshy steroids war in bullet-proof body kits, enemy bullets is not is particularly important, and in any open shootout with several enemies you'll likely see a sad «You were killed ». To the aid of all sorts of obstacles. It is possible to hide the corner and the other elements of levels geometry. The player is not tired of the monotonous filling lead carcasses enemy, often we are given the opportunity to use the items in a given location, thus facilitating the passage level. For example, seeing the explosive type of container behind the enemy, you will surely be delighted consequences caused by a well-aimed shot to the container.

A little bit about the bosses: they are. Take their firepower is useless, it is necessary to connect the trick. In general, the game is now to find a rival in graphic terms for its tablet is unlikely to succeed. For comparison, just look at the ports of hits Max Payne and GTA, and then run Shadowgun. Well, maybe somewhere close is Mass Effect.
