hey guys this is Duncan and you're watching my very first application review which is going to be focused on a few first-person shooters I've found available in the App Store let's get this one started my first up I'll be reviewing today is called I tge fps ite it's less than an actual game and it's more of a demo kind of to show off what kind of graphics or you could put on the iPhone iPod Touch let me tell you this they are just really just great now basically there are three fields and there's no deathmatch sandstorm and castle interior Oh basically there's nothing to do on any of them except for the snow deathmatch which there's one enemy who walks around in a circle and you get to shoot him but which is not a much fun but it kind of you can kind of see the controls and everything one thing that really sticks out lower the graphics they're phenomenal you get a third-person view in addition to the normal first-person view which shows you and you're quite detailed character in the game and you also have a crossbow to fire the problem is though is it they're really some bad framerate issues it's it's not terrible it's it's still playable but it you'll notice it will kind of get annoying anyway the three fields or snow deathmatch which you basically just walk around in a very small ghost courtyard covered in snow and you shoot at a random guy who's walking around seemingly for no reason there's sandstorm which shows a really nice really nice bus basically just desert in the middle of nowhere and you walk and walk it really shows you just how huge the field is and then castle interior which is a really just small little place in a little field inside of castle there's I mean little absolute nothing to do there i qg e is a definitely a very good app graphic wise i would recommend going going to pick it up at least try it once the next app i'll be reviewing is half dead half dead this is a one of the more popular third-person first person sorry first person shooters in that store and that being said it's not that popular but uh just just simply because the first person shooters for the iPhone iPod Touch just kind of seem to be little laggy and the controls are nowhere near as good you might find on Xbox or Playstation but that being said half dead does a very good job at trying and at the moment and I it's been a dollar for a very long time so I don't think it'll be long but at for the moment it's free and the I'd say it instantly go out and go out there and download it right now you can listen the rest of the review later but this is a definitely a really good one for free half did basically it's no no menu screen I think you open launched it there's a loading screen and you start now the first thing you'll see is some really just well model graphics I mean they're just some of them are just great basically the heck did the whole principle is I'm supposed on it looks like a cargo ship and you walk around and you're supposed to shoot people and it yeah it's really simple it's a it's more definitely more of a game than I tge but you'll you'll find it's not this this isn't something you'll want to play a lot either there is high scores and does time you see how long can last basically it's really simple um you just walk around and just you just the top of this ship and it's very very nice because you will see some really just great graphics you'll see there's some there's some people now there's no behind the shoulder view like an iit-jee but to be honest you really don't need it it's it's pretty good and basically you just walk around and they shoot people once you basically how most first-person shooters go this one I will definitely say is very difficult I mean you'll if you can last two or three minutes you if you want you can stay at the place where you spawn but if this is your own action you get killed very quickly and but then again I mean if you're getting shot but it's got decent controls uh nothing hasn't special it really doesn't use tilt you've got you've got four buttons on your right you got two buttons on your left and you have a shoot button above it's not the most intuitive but it gets the job done okay I suppose as with all the first-person shooters I've ever seen in any way it has framerate issues but they're not as nearly as bad as an IT GE and it's something you'll notice first time you start playing it but once you get into it it's really not going to be a factor as you walk around it's really a fantastic detail the the fighter plane you see well when you're when you first open up it is it is just fantastically model half dad it has some problems though it's just you you can't last but thirty seconds in it before you get shot and it's just it's a good game and for free I definitely recommend it but I really wouldn't spend a dollar on it my last first-person shooter i'm going to review today is called dead man's dungeon dead man's dungeon features probably the best full-featured experience in a first-person shooter for the iphone ipod touch it it like all the others it's it's pretty bear compared to what you might find on xbox or playstation but it it's good for the iphone it there's no story there's no anything basically you start out you're a supposedly a prison guard guarding the dead man's dungeon and it's what one really unique feature about is that there are gates all over the place that you open up all you have to walk up to it walk up to them and they open and that's where the prisoners they randomly oh they're not prisoners they're skeletons but they randomly appear and but uh the the object of the game or basically is to last longest you can you'll go around you'll be shooting the skeletons there are different kinds there are there's one just skeleton there's one with or there's one with flaming arrow there's probably couple more them I'm not thinking of right now but it's very good my favorite part of it at first the first release of it the controls were bad that it uses tilt which is one thing I really think the other two first-person shooters I just reviewed should use and basically all there is to use control wise not is just you tilt you tilt it which it's nicely nice nicely used you've got a small control pad on your left now the key to this this is one of the downfalls but it still BC others basically put your thumb in the middle of it and then slide it slightly forward sideways or whatever it first you won't be able to move you'll probably will die but as soon as you realize how to use it it really is the best and on your right you'll see you're holding the gun basically just tap the little trigger icon no problem at all the the graphics on this are well they're not quite is is great as the others the all the rendering the the cell doors when you open them that I mean they're just fantastic you see some of the prisoners I mean the prisoner uh I'm sure I say the barracks or the cells on I'm sorry the cells are really nicely done the bunk beds the sinks everything the skeletons they're not not so great but I mean you know it's not bad and and when you shoot them it kind of the graphics aren't that great you'll see like like some read something like blood or whatever and you see I don't I don't know it's just kind of messy but one good really really interesting thing I thought was that you actually bullet holes when you shoot like if you shoot a wall whatever you'll see bullet holes which I just thought that was really cool but uh dead man's dungeon it - it definitely has the best gameplay because you can actually actually that your high-score is done between your score which is how many dumb zombie 's how many skeletons you take down and each different kind give you different points and then you get gems which are the these red gems that appear in the or cells and you go and you pick them up a really good thing is that you can pick up different weapons now this is a you start out with a pistol and you can get what looks like to be an mp5 and then a shotgun through as you walk around and this is one thing it's good in a way because you have different weapons and you can you can swap and it's something you will run have ammo on I mean Jaap swap the thing is it's hard to find ammo for them and you'll definitely notice their differences between them obviously there would be but I don't know it adds a nice element but one thing the game one needs is more ammo because it nothing is worse than walking around you got a bunch of them on your tail and you'll have any ammo and that basically just kills you until you can get some more but one thing I will have to know is that on the first if you have a first generation iPod Touch which uses a slightly slower processor than the second generation and the iPhone but both iPhones as far as I know you'll have you'll definitely experience more lag than you would otherwise um I don't have a first generation iPod touch myself so I don't really know how bad it is I've heard from a friend of mine who says it's not that great so if you do you might want to consider it and the app is $0.99 but uh if you're if you wanting something just to take a look at the graphics on see how oh that's good whatever and I'd probably go with AI tge or definitely pick up half debt if it's still free if you want a game with actually good replay value if you wanna it's got a nice soundtrack everything you would probably want to go with dead man statute those possibilities that developers are working on more levels there there were there were lots of different things and it's definitely uh you don't pay a dollar but you definitely get what you pay for because uh it's a lot of fun well that's just about it I hope you enjoyed thanks for watching see you guys later
