Second Post/ First Review- Minigore

Hello!

My first review is for the survival-shooter game Minigore, created by Chillingo and costing 59p. I've played similar games like this on Internet sites, so I was intrigued as to how this one would fare.

The answer? Very well! The games 3D characters and almost-3D landscapes are beautifully made, and the controls are very responsive. I'm generally a little bit wary about the on-screen joystick, as some games which use it (Assassins Creed for example) are not as responsive as I would have hoped. However, Minigore's movement is spot on, and the shooting is too.
 
As you can see from the picture, there are three main sizes of enemies- the Minifurry, the Furry and the Giantfurry. The larger enemies turn into multiple small ones and as a result the screen often becomes filled. My main gripe with this game is that there are only three types of enemy. They do get boring after a while, which is when the concentration starts to lapse and you die! 
Their iTunes page talks about the upcoming updates, which include features such as a Save option, new characters and a new 'Insane Mode.' I for one am I looking forward to these updates, as they will be a great improvement to an already awesome game.

Final Verdict- Fluid controls, good gameplay and excellent graphics.
