In that video the cross hairs seem to move like they're caught in molasses. Not an auspicious sign, IMHO.

Sure it looks good for an iPhone game, but it still looks pretty crappy - no better than a DS. And I have no doubt that the controls will be frustrating.

The iPhone is fine for casual gaming - BubbleBobble, Scrabble and the like, but not for gaming gaming. Games like this offer a certain "wow-factor" but they don't ultimately deliver. For portable gaming, the PSP really can't be beat.

@weatherman: Great idea, judge the game controls before you have any idea what they are like!

@kwellman: the only controls there could possibly be are on the touchscreen, obscuring the game. The controls could be fantastic for an iPhone and it wouldn't matter - there is no way that the controls on a game like this won't suck compared to anything with an analog stick and hardware buttons. Touchscreen might be fine for puzzle games or even RPG and RTS, but never for an FPS.

@Dillinger23: this doesn't look any better to me than Metroid did on the DS, and that was a first-gen DS title.

@Carlos Andres Cortes: I have an iPhone. I just didn't sign the Apple EULA that came with it requiring me to say that it was the best device ever for all things.
