Gameloft must have some voodoo hidden up its sleeves. Against all odds it’s managed to craft what’s possibly the best control scheme for a beat-’em-up on the iPhone. The game offers the choice of a virtual joystick or D-pad for movement, with buttons on the right-hand side of the screen to control your attacks and defences. Using these it’s easily possible to build up special attacks and combos. There are ten characters to choose from, each with their own set of weapons and moves. The game offers story, arcade, survival and practice modes, plus a multiplayer mode allowing two players to battle over or Bluetooth. As you may have noticed from the screenshots on this page, the graphics are polished and sublime, and thankfully everything runs at a steady frame rate. Put simply, this is one of the greatest straightforward one-on-one fighting games to be found in the App Store and is perhaps only second to the mighty Infinity Blade in terms of looks, feel and addictiveness.
