I sort of agree with you. Why did they even attempt at making a mobile game and then say "it packs all the action of the SWBF series"?

I seriously just don't care, and you guys are really making something that isn't a big deal into one. You guys seriously think something like battlefront could run on most cell phones these days!? I've seen what the iPhone can handle, and not even it could run anything remotely similar to battlefront. I'll probably be getting this for my phone, because it looks like a fun timekiller if I'm in an airport waiting for a flight or something.

Don't knock it before you try it.

And your point? How does that make a game bad?

My only point was, them, claiming to pack all the action of the series on the mobile phone. I have nothing against arcade shooters (in fact, I love them), I only think that when they make an arcade shooter for a mobile phone (great idea), they shouldn't claim it's an action packed whatnot.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one, but I won't go off-topic. I do agree that this doesn't look very good...

*A bit off-topic*
Don't be so surprised. THQ released a similar game in 2005 under the title: "Star Wars Battlefront - Mobile". Apparently it's "outstanding".

It looks alright for a Mobile game, but just because they're not making a pc version of Battlefront, there's no need to bash the game or its developers.

Fyi, THQ makes great games.

Yes, they do, MX vs. ATV is one of my favorites my them.

You guys are waaay overthinking this though. This is a CELL PHONE, not a X360 or PS3. They are probably trying to pack as much as they can onto a little CELL phone game.

I got TFU on my (old) mobile. Pretty freaking lame. You gotta press a sequence of buttons to kill stormtroopers. Over and over again. The boredom was strong in this one.
