Modern Combat 3 was shaping up to be one of the best FPS games on mobile devices. After purchasing it as soon as it came out and waiting impatiently to download, I was sourly disappointed. I had played the previous outing from the series, Modern Combat 2, so I was expecting a much improved game. Yes, the graphics are amazing, almost reaching console quality but there was a hint of lag when moving your strangely named weapon around. It didn't feel as smooth as it predecessor. Firing the weapon also left me disappointed, the little rat-tat-tat from the guns and lack of power left me disappointed. Once again, its predecessor was much better in this department. The new level designs feel unimaginative and unoriginal. It felt more arcade shooting gallery than proper FPS. There were too many scenes where you where walking down a straight alley way and enemies popping up from behind boxes to ambush you. There are no alternative routes to take while battling through the campaign unlike Modern Combat 2. There was also too many dark and shadowy corners around the maps which makes camping online extremely easy. Overall, Modern Combat 3 left me sourly disappointed and I think it was a missed opportunity from Gameloft. Try better next time.
