Disappointing – Marathon Infinity Review

While visually, it still remains true to the original, it seems like the app was rushed out of beta. The control scheme is horrid, that alone makes this game virtually unplayable. I could be wrong, but it might be laziness on the developer's part. Touch screen controls for FPS type games isn't anything new, and many have done a good job with it. Here its makes the game unmanageble, I have difficulty with moving while aiming at an angle (app automatically reverts to a direct horizontal view upon any movement). Switching weapons in a timely manner, dual wielding (again a challenge for touch screens but many other FPS apps have managed this quite well) interfacing with doors, elevators, and terminals (due to the awkward position of the interface buttons) etc... Moreover the HUD controls are a complete eye sore. The game crashes quite a bit, the initial load up time is quite too long, and bugs persist on many levels (some levels cannot advance, so have to restart saved games, others will advance to levels out of sequence to the original game) I have to give this app 1 star. Well intended, poorly executed.
