IronFall: Invasion (60 FPS Up-to-6-player First-person Shooter for Nintendo 3DS)

[The Adventurer]

Yes, the controls suck. The c-stick on the new 3ds is a colossal fail. It's not even a stick, just a pressure sensitive thing. Impossible for precise aiming. How hard was it to put a second analog pad on the thing?

Actually the c-stick is awesome. I love it for camera controls in Monster Hunter and the like. I actually really like that it's a nub, and it's sensitivity is perfect.

I'm just saying I can't play these kinds of games without a mouse and keyboard.

I can play them just fine with 2 analog sticks. Precise aiming is impossible with this thing though. The sensitivity is far from perfect. It plays poorly with Ironfall and Moon.

To each their own. I am not good, just passable using twin sticks, so if I can get a game on a computer that's also on console like a FPS, I'll almost always ignore the console game even if the experience is more steady/guaranteed on dedicated console hardware. Dual sticks just are slower and less precise. I imagine if I grabbed that demo I'd probably be no worse for wear than if it had 2 dedicated thumb sticks.

I played the demo of this in the past few days. It was good. The demo level was long (about 1 hour). I had no trouble with the controls - I used the stylus to control the look/camera operations. I had to turn up the sensitivity, but once I did, it was smooth sailing. The story was generic and unremarkable as it was just another "Aliens invade!" plot.

The graphics, while they weren't amazing from an artistic direction, they were fantastic on a technical level. They contained so many reflections, shaders, and advance graphical effects, it was awesome. Think, "Ooh, shiny!" without it all being distracting.

The voice acting was fairly sub-par though. While most of it was passable, the woman's voice acting was terrible. Most of the actors sounded like they were reading from a script - however they put some emotion into it. The woman just sounded flat-faced and dull. She just didn't "read into it" when delivering her lines.
