Dude, NOVA barely pushes the captivate to its potential. It runs full framerate, all the time, no lags. First-hand experience.

The iPhone 3gs can run it fine and we have a faster processor and twice the GPU and so does the droid.

Thx for the feedback guys. Yeah I knew it would run great just wasnt sure if it was the game play was that great. I cant wait to see what games can take full advantage of our gfx. Ive read that its more than twice as fast as the 530 which I believe the 3gs has

All the gameloft games run super silky smooth. Although the games are super optimized for speed. The iPhone4 runs them just the same. I personally like the controls of NOVA better, but I like Sandstorm better as a game.

Under the whatever 3D test thats standard for these phones, it nearly doubles the rest of the phones on the market in FPS. Best part is that it seems to be quite damn efficient at it too!

Yeah you have to view the gameloft website on a desktop/laptop. Not from the phone. Although you may have luck browsing the site from dolphin broswer hd, just change the default.mode from android to desktop in settings. Also when you buy the game, you can either buy the snapdragon version or the droid version. I've heard the snapdragon(evo, incredible) versions are crippled in graphics compared to the droid version.

It is a decent game and pretty fun. Controls are intuitive. Only complaint is that the monsters are too easy to kill even on hard.
