The graphics are clean and well represented, the levels have a fair amount of detail to them. This borrows very heavily from games like Call of Duty and Counter-Strike. If you’ve ever played the Modern Combat games on the iPhone or iPod Touch, you pretty much know what you’re in for. And while it does have it’s severe flaws, it’s still a surprisingly good game. Even though I was in the mindset that I didn’t particularly like modern first person shooters (I found out later it was just Call of Duty I didn’t like) … I was willing to give this game a shot. When I saw that this was coming to the Playstation 3 at a mere 8 dollars, I knew I was in. Credit to Gameloft for producing such a game for those with limited means, but the rest of us are probably better off saving for a slightly more expensive, but refined option.1Feb/11 0 Game Review–Modern Combat : Domination for the Playstation 3Īh Gameloft … how I know thee from the days I had my iPod Touch. In all fairness I don’t have a Move controller, so couldn’t test how this worked, but I personally have no major issues with dual shock controls either way.Īs we said before: it’s cheap and you get what you pay for.
#Modern combat domination plus
Most FPSer gamers aren’t going to care about this, because these days multiplayer is where it’s at, but those who still like a single player mode tacked-on, be warned.Ī major plus is the game features Move support, so owners of that underutilized peripheral can enjoy a competent FPS with it. There’s also no single player mode of note at all. We could be picky and point out a relatively sticky control scheme, which might put off those used to more fluid or precise controls, or a general lack of atmosphere or inspiration in the game, but this is a Gameloft game, and expecting anything else would have been unreasonable. Leveling happens at a decent pace, neither too quickly nor too slowly, but you are going to have to play a bunch of games if you want to get anywhere. The now-traditional experience and unlock system is present and correct, and for the committed, reasonably rewarding. Loading times are also appalling – ruling the game out as any kind of pick-up-and-play time waster, but at least that gives you the chance to catch up on the news between matches.
#Modern combat domination full
Combined with a slow movement speed, and there are moments of loneliness when playing this game, even with the full 8×8 matchup – disappointing for a genre designed for action.
The concentration of combat on the maps is all over the place, and there are times where there is nothing to shoot anywhere near by. More damningly, it’s easy to see the same level of care that goes into the map construction of a Call of Duty title just isn’t present in this game. There’s a very limited range of maps – only five on the always popular team deathmatch mode.
It’s smooth, clean and playable, but really, that’s not enough. Not that there’s anything outright wrong about the game. On the PlayStation Network, it’s coming up against a whole lot of very, very good competition.
#Modern combat domination series
On the iPad and iPhone, the Modern Combat series stands out as being amongst the best on the format. This is why racing games and FPSers are generally the developer/ publisher’s best output. When not burdened by the need to create an interesting story, when music is not a concern, and when having a decent engine run glitch-free is the most important element to get right, Gameloft shines. Modern Combat: Domination is the kind of game Gameloft does well. If you’re a PlayStation Plus member, this game will cost less than $AUS10.
