Shadow Vanguard is a decent tactical shooter with a variety of missions and good graphics, especially on an iPhone 4. But the cluttered controls and odd intelligence of both enemies and teammates throws a little cold water on the game. Online, which should have been the real star here, bobbles thanks to the inability to communicate during co-op and the lag of deathmatch play. If you haven’t already player N.O.V.A. 2 or Modern Combat 2, prioritize those games – they are more stable, more engaging, and more fun.
Released in 2011, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard is a testament to the inevitable evolution of gaming. As mobile devices become more powerful, game developers are now taking smartphones and tablets seriously as a new platform. The developers at Gameloft wanted to target players to experience the same action-packed series on mobile devices. Does it live up to the hype or is it just a shadow of it former self? Let's find out.
Pixel Scribes: "Tom Clancy games usually revolve around the concept of stealth. You sneak around and ‘neutralise’ as many enemies as you can, preferably without being spotted. Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard for iPad isn’t really much different. Except this time, you control everything via touchscreen, as opposed to buttons which most people will be accustomed to."
For those unfamiliar with the Rainbow Six series, it all started in 1998 with the Publication of Tom Clancy’s novel “Rainbow Six”. A video game series soon followed and the formula has stuck around until today: Squad based First person shooter action with cover systems, civilian hostages constantly moaning and whinging, and millions of bad guys to mercilessly slaughter on your way to becoming a Spec Ops legend. Shadow Vanguard manages to pull all this off and is certainly an impressive game which has been squeezed lovingly onto mobile devices.
