Hero of Sparta (Video Game)



Hero of Sparta
iPhone/iPod Touch
Gameloft

Overview
I ran across this incredible game today. The iPod Touch is becoming a serious portable gaming device with the availability of games like Hero of Sparta. What we have here is your basic, hack 'n slash sword game - you know, the kind we power metalers love.

Gameplay
Like most iPhone Touch games, you tap to control your hero (on a virtual joystick). Combinations and a variety of weapons, along with finishing moves, give variety to the control of your hero. The storyline follows the classic formula. You defeat bosses on levels. There are scenes between each level to fill in the storyline. You'll be questing in no time, as this game's controls are intuitive and easy to learn.

Graphics
You won't get Xbox graphics here, but what you do get is excellent graphics for a portable device. Framerate is a little slow, but the images make up for that.



Conclusion
If you own an iPod Touch/iPhone and controlling a Greek warrior who cuts down demons and mythical beasts with his sword sounds like fun, this game is a no-brainer. Plus, this game is now $5.99. A comparable game on the DS would be $20-$30. So, get to slaying already!
