Decision between Rage HD and Infinity Blade

Post by RCBH928 »

Hey there
I have enough money to buy only one of those games on iOS. Both are very good, but am not sure which to buy I was hoping someone here played both could tell me. I hear RAGE is very short. i am moving towards Infinity Blade.
Looking for advice!

I thought Infinity Blade was more of a tech demo wasn't it?

I played it on my friend's iPad and was pretty underwhelmed by the gameplay.

This is one of those situations where everyone and their brother tells you it's a great game and then it turns out to be another Flower for ps3....

Maybe ipod/ipad isn't the best device for finding 2+ hour games?
If you're into shmups, CAVE has released some greats on the platform.

I would still go with Rage HD, though.

It was free a few months back. Pretty good rail shooter, not great, but certainly above the average quality of iPhone/iPad games...

I bought Rage, and I am happy. Its a nice fun challenge.
I am not sure if I am missing anything on infinity blade

as for graphics...am not sure if they are putting the ipad up to its maximum ability or are can better graphics be reached?!
any way, if You ask me, maybe it looks like an early ps2 title? Which pretty darn good

I'd rate it much higher than a PS2 in terms of graphics. I've never seen a PS2 output the things even the original iPad does.

A lot of iOS games scale to the hardware. Real Racing 2 and Infinity Blade do for instance (not sure about Rage HD).

On the left is the oiPad and on the right is the iPad 2. Keep in mind that the iPad 2 can also natively output Real Racing 2 in 1080p (not faked like a 360 game would).
