Gameloft have released an iPhone 4 optimised version of N.O.V.A. Not content with just updated, retina enhanced, graphics- which looks better than even the iPad version – but it has also been given the Gyroscopic treatment. So, not only can you use the touch screen to aim, but now you can turn your whole body in the real world to affect your in-game viewpoint. It’s a bit of a gimmick, but it’s eerily realistic for motion. It’s best experienced by sitting in a rotating chair like an office chair. And then spinning in the direction you want to turn. While controlling this way is perfectly doable throughout the game, its best used for stationary sections like the gattling gun… for those of you who have already tried ngmoco’s Gun Range, then you’ll know how it works.
N.O.V.A is currently $4.99 for iPhone and $6.99 for iPad (with no gyroscope features). You can read our review here, and our iPad/iPhone head-to-head here
