N.O.V.A. - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance

buy me now

Gameloft LIVE does not work for me.

Best shooter on iPhone. Buy it. NOW.

ok i touch it and nithing happens doesnt load i have ipod version 3 and latest update pieace of crap for 7 bucks

Just an amazing game the graphics are good the gameplay is good the online too. Keep up the good work gameloft! I got one more thing to say you or sega bring back the house of the dead games on to the ipod i would love for you to do it thanks!

If only the online play would work! I have simiular problems with MC:S even after the bug fix update. Worst online play I have seen, disconnects every game and that's if you can get into a game! If I am doing something wrong here please let me know. I have great wifi signal and am on a 3GS. (there is not trouble shooting or anything to indicate I am doing anything wrong, or that my Internet settings are messed up) Eliminate runs perfect why are all Gameloft games sucking in online play! If you get the game for the campaign ten it is worth it otherwise wait to some fixes!

NOVA is the FPS that iPhone and iPod touch gamers have been waiting for. It runs smoothly on a 3G and for the first time gives the user the experience of playing HALO on their mobile device. Innovative control system for shooting makes this game a must for FPS junkies. The only drawback is the lack of an inverse view joystick setting.

This game is worth soooo much more than 7 bucks! this game is amazing!! The missions, the multiplayer (working perfectly without any UPNP errors) THE BEST Graphics on the iphone!! simply the best!! I dont really know why you are still reading this review and havent bought the game yet... Believe me you will not regret it! Amazing job Gameloft! I would give it ten stars if I could. :)

If this matters to you, nuff said. If not, enjoy the game.

I thought Eliminate was good. I thought Call of Duty Zombie was great. WRONG!!! Rich single player campaign and flawless multiplayer death match.... NOVA sets the bar REALLY REALLY high. This is a milestone game. This is an IMPORTANT game. Get it now. Surprisingly price ($6.99) is good, too. Call of Duty Zombies... essentially a mini game with only 1 map is still $9.99. What a joke.

The graphics are the best I've seen yet and the controls have no flaws either. I definitely prefer this to eliminate. Sure it's a blatant halo clone, but that just makes it all the better!

I can't believe how cool it look.this is the best looking so far.the screen is crisp.now to think I was going to buy a handheld video game system.the ipod touch is capable of more than I thought.forget about the nintenblow bs and pony ppp systems

Very impressive visually and very well implemented online multiplayer. However once the wow factor has passed one is left with shallow and repetitive gameplay.

I want to reccomend this game to anyone who has a sense of adventure. This game has extremely easy and fluent controls, outstanding graphics (probably the best on the iPhone/iPod touch), voice acting, cutscenes, great gunplay and action, fairly good plot (mostly go here, kill this, hack that, hold off this point, then the why), and is very Entertaining and fun to play. I haven't seen very many glitches so far...the ones I have seen however, are very minor and I wouldn't say detract from the gameplay or experience of the game whatsoever. Yes, this game is ripping of Halo...alot...but if I were bungee I'd take that ad a compliment, especially the way gameloft pulled it off on a platform such as the iPhone. Playability: I am running N.O.V.A. On my 1st gen iPod touch, and it doesn't have uncontrollable lag. This was a relief and surprise because games such as sandstorm modern combat lags horribly, and brothers in arms hour of heroes does too. N.O.V.A. Is more graphics intensive and yet it hardly lags. The game has a few things that annoy me, such as the sniping is way too easy due to the auto aim. If you're a sucky aim however, this will be a great feature for you ;) The other thing that annoys me, is the dual analog control is horrible. The look. Crawls when the sensitivity is low, and skips and jumps when it's high. But the other two control schemes work perfect for me. The auto look feature and ability to listen to your own music are awesome. If you're a bad shot with the sniper, just aim close to your target and shoot and it's a garanteed kill! Auto aim is also very helpful for the few times that the game lags (rememer i'm using the 1at gen touch so I doubt the 3rd gen phones and touch have any lag at all), and when you're overwhelmed with enemies. The ability to listen to your own music is easy to use, and a great feature of the game. This game gets a 9/10 on playability, because gameloft really should do something about the dual analog issue...they made it work on sandstorm modern combat so I expected it should work well on their best title yet: NOVA Story: Like I said earlier, the story isn't anything special. It's just go here to destroy this, defend that, hack this, kill that, then the person giving you your instructions via headset tells you why. 9/10 on the story. I would give it a lower score, except This is an iPhone shooter, so I didn't expect alot on the story side. It gets the job done, and it's actually there, and that's all you can expect on an iPhone game right now. This is really the game's only con. Multiplayer: If you've played eliminate pro you'll be familiar with NOVA's miltiplayer experience. NOVA has great multiplayer, and even a voice chat feature (which I can't use due to the whole 1st gen thing...:/ )! The only difference is there's no customizeabity, and more open arenas. I would also have to say it's a little faster paced, and the guns are cooler, and there's no annoying energy cell payment. You buy the game and you get to play it online free of charge which made me extremely happy. I've only played a few matches online (add me: hotshot191), and what I've seen so far is great! Graphics: One word for this games graphics: STUNNING. better than avatar and yet less lag! Keep it up gameloft. The environments look great and believeable, lush, and not blocky. The textures look great, and I think NOVA might even have some anti aliasing. The character models ate great except the faces are a little flat and not very detailed like in any other iPhone game. graphics get a 10/10 Gameloft really pushed the envelope on the graphics side of things on this game! I don't think I've left anything out in this review, sorry if it was long, it's my first one. Overall rating 10/10 Please, do yourself and gameloft a favor and get this game! It's not even 10 dollars, and is absolutely amazing. This is a must have for the iPhone and iPod touch fan! And is by far the best shooter and just game in general out on the platform right now! Gameloft has mastered gaming on the iPhone and iPod touch, and I can't wait to see what they come up with next!!!! Thanks gameloft, keep it up!!! :D

While the game is awesome for those who do not need the Y axis inverted, those who do will find it hard to comfortably control. We know which controls the developers play on. I'm hoping for an update with a fix for this lacking feature.

If you want a true halo killer on the iPhone, this is it.

This was well worth the wait! Play control is smooth, graphics are totally outstanding, sound is perfect, and the layout on the main screen is great. Now, I need to find a place at work to hide so I can get some quality time on N.O.V.A. Thanks, Gameloft!

This game is perfect Themultiplayer is flawless and hasnobe of the problems I experienced with mc: s( no upnp error w00t) This game is worth the price for the multiplayer alone and has none of the energy scams eliminate contains Insta-kil..err...buy Add me on gamloft live: mast3r_chi3f

This game is amazing. It's worth every penny. Multiplayer is way better than Eliminate. Best FPS in the app store. Make sure you crank up the sensitivity though. You can even customize the UI. Which means you can move the fire button, the d-pad, and anything else to your liking. Get this game you won't be dissapointed.

Everyone is aware of the huge hype surrounding N.O.V.A. But is it really worth it?

Best halo clone ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! buy right now! O and first!

To apple and jobs for making the device that began the slow decay of my social life..to at&t for it's spotty coverage..it just makes the 3g that much sweeter when it actually comes in.
