Smaller Arms (Small Arms on Mobile Phones)

Mon, 2007-08-27 20:29 — Hexx
Wow, I'm sure no one saw this one coming. According to an IGN Mobile preview, Small Arms will be coming this fall to your mobile phone. Making the transition to the smallest form are six of the games characters (Hector El Pollo, Marky Kat, Fox Claw, Tyrone, Mr. Truffles and one unknown) and even achievements (more than likely not for your gamerscore though). Interesting to note though is the game modes.
Multiplayer is not an online deathmatch per se, but you do actually compete. On your handset, you must plow through as many AI-controlled animals as possible. The more you cut down, the more your opponent must deal with. Local Battle pits you against as many animal brawlers as you desire -- it's a good way to practice your skills.
Is anyone else worried about how this dual stick fighter will transition to the cellphone numpad? [Via The Xbox Domain via IGN and our own Blue Falcon]

I sadly purchased Splinter
I sadly purchased Splinter Cell for my celphone which had the worst controls ever. Seeing as how I'm sure the aiming will be similiar, I will not be purchasing this game. I'm sure it depends on the phone though.

You think that's bad? I picked up Oblivion for my phone! I have never seen anything quite so hideous before in my life!

I have a Windows Mobile

I have a Windows Mobile Smartphone with a joystick and a profile "game mode", but I find it difficult to play anything with actual action gameplay. NES games are about as much button pressing as I comfortably handle on it, but even then Strider and such is pushing it.

I don't see how a slower processor, a four way pad and a numeric pad would play something like Small Arms well at all.

No controls issues

Guys, it's have an autoaiming.

All actions (excepts secondary attack) mounted on joystick.

It's not a one-button game, but still one-hand ;)
