The pop-up virtual joystick is still here, as are the shoot/crouch/sprint/grenade/weapon selection buttons scattered around the screen. The controls don’t seem to have changed since Modern Combat 2, which is probably for the best. However, on the first generation iPad, the framerate seemed to crawl from time to time. If Gameloft ever decides to stop developing games, it could easily stay in business by licensing out its graphics engines to other developers. The character models look and move beautifully, every character has solid voice-acting, and the environments are absolutely stunning to look at. One thing that doesn’t feel even remotely rushed is the game’s production values. From here on out, you run from one scripted sequence to the next, engage in nasty little firefights, and generally try to keep up with the breakneck speed of the rather threadbare plot things feel like they were intended to be sweeping and epic, but some of the writing just feels rushed and lazy thanks to how hurried the storyline is. You’re treated to some manly banter, a couple of sequences where you blow away a few enemies from your perch on the gunship, and then the real action begins. Things start out as you and your elite combat team ride in a helicopter to recover some critical data from an NSA building that’s under siege. Thanks to unexpected attacks on both shores, KPR has managed to catch America with its proverbial pants down and knock out communications satellites, meaning that the country is not only crippled, but it’s also deaf, dumb, and blind. The opening cutscene shows that an alliance between North Korea, Pakistan, and Russia (“KPR”) has invaded the United States. Never one to stretch for an original story, Gameloft seems to have ripped the plot of Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation straight from THQ’s recent shooter Homefront. This time, though, Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation is more busted than brilliant a frustrating step backwards after so many excellent leaps forward.
#Combat 3 games series
The Modern Combat series has made a point of recreating FPS titles like Modern Warfare and Battlefield on the iPhone, often to great success. The developer/publisher has turned imitating big console games on mobile devices into an art form. Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation is a gorgeous shooter that stumbles too much for it’s own good
