![]() ![]() If you’ve played a recent title from Gameloft before this, Black Pegasus is going to feel pretty similar in a lot of ways. As a result, I wound up starting a new game with the feature disabled. It’s a neat feature, but I wound up getting frustrated with it when I spent some time playing the game on a turbulence-heavy flight and found my perspective shifting pretty wildly. If you end up turning this feature on, the in-game camera will actually shift according to how you turn your iPhone. When you first start the game you’re given the option of playing with the accelerometer affecting the camera, which admittedly takes some getting used to. That said, it should be noted that character models feature some really impressive facial designs and feature individual fingers on their hands (which is actually much more impressive than it sounds). Though after a while, some of the levels will seem a bit repetitive in design and you’ll get a little bored with killing the same generic terrorist villains as you progress through an area. No matter where you look, everything looks razor sharp and crisp. The character models and environments feel like something we would have seen with the original generation of PS2/Xbox titles during the early 2000s. In fact, I would argue that this is possibly one of best-looking 3D games available for Apple devices. Visually, Black Pegasus is pretty stunning. After this daring escape you wind up traveling the globe as a combatant in the war on terror. After being held captive and tortured for an undetermined number of weeks, you and a fellow prisoner end up escaping from the camp, during which time you blow stuff up, kill a whole lot of people, and generally engage in overly-manly behavior. So here’s how the story goes: you play as a soldier who is captured after his helicopter is shot down by insurgents in the Middle East. Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus continues this trend, giving iPhone gamers a great FPS for the system that not only features a highly-polished single-player campaign, but also includes a phenomenal online mode. This is by no means a bad thing, since the games have actually been pretty good. Gameloft’s first-person shooters have been, so far, fairly blatant clones of popular console franchises like Halo and Modern Warfare. Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus is quite possibly the best shooter on the iPhone to date ![]()
