Mass Effect Galaxy hits the App Store photo

Mass Effect Galaxy has (finally) hit the App Store. The comic-style game is priced at around five bucks and promises to give players a peek at two of the characters that will appear in Mass Effect 2, as well as give “deeper insight into their motivations” inside the game’s universe.

We haven’t had the chance to play the game yet (that will definitely happen this afternoon), but it appears to be a top-down shooter judging from the non-comic style image available on the App Store. The style makes sense: the game’s star, Jacob Taylor, is a rough and tumble dude. Bionics isn’t his specialty.

Have any of you tried this yet? We’re relying on you guys to fill us in. We've been excited about this title for awhile.

Really tempted to pick this up, but I might wait for a few reviews first.

I've taken quite a liking to their art style thanks to Sonic Chronicles! Here's hoping they do some more stuff on handhelds I own.

I've played a couple of minutes' worth (yay for jailbroken Touch crash issues!) but it doesn't seem too terribly bad. Fairly hefty game weighing in around 120MB, but there are a few that beat that yet. Tilt-to-move, and you auto-shoot anything that's hostile with auto-aiming. You can freeze an enemy in place, break their shields, or toss a grenade at them during battle.

I had one talk scene too, and you swipe to scroll through all of the dialog choices, if there are any. I haven't had any mis-confirms for that, thankfully. Doesn't seem to be too bad so far, but I never played the first ME so I dunno if I should expect just story with some gameplay or what.

I'm not all that far into it right now, but it is pretty fun. The art style is a bit too cartoony for me, but the overall game is cool.

Also, I'm playing it on my 3G and it slows down quite a bit when things onscreen get really busy, so I'm assuming it is best played on a fancy 3GS.

WTF, when I start it up, there's a movie that plays with no subtitles. I never play anything with the sound on my iPhone because I use it in public

I really don't think it's worth 3$ it looks ok but I'd buy it if it was on sale
