| 02-14-09 / 02:45 PM : Hyperdevbox ExZeus : best iPhone game ? (cjed) |
| Hyperdevbox Japan released ExZeus for iPhone (the name is derived from a famous game...) But that time it is a shoot'em-up, however completely in 3D, with stunning graphics and the best smoothness seen in an iPhone game (no short pause every 3s as we are used with many iPhone games). The view depth and elements scale seem very well done, limiting the feel of constrained screen size. We can watch a stunning video here. It is priced 5,99$. Probably one of the best games for iPhone (at least technically). |
