iOS (iPhone/iPad) Critic Reviews

Modern Combat 5: Blackout is an absolute must that sets the new standard for iOS gaming.

All in all, Modern Combat 5 ticks all the right boxes for gameplay, graphics and audio.

The fifth entry into the blockbuster Modern Combat series is what mobile shooters should aspire to.

You may keep looking at it as a mere Call of Duty rip-off, but truth is Modern Combat 5: Blackout is the absolute best FPS you can play on a mobile device right now.

A great game and a great production, probably a whole new standard for the genre on mobile devices. I would rather to see a more mature plot, but nevertheless Modern Combat 5 is loud and fun, and should be enough for fans.

The game has wonderful graphics and an intuitive gameplay. In the app there are many missions and many game modes. There are no in-app purchases and the game requires a persistent internet connection. The controls are very simple and the game offers many hours of gameplay.

Even with the control issues, DRM nonsense, and lack of real innovation, Modern Combat 5 is probably the best example of the genre on mobile. The fun may be loud and dumb, but fans will doubtless fall victim to its explosive charms.

A big explosion of guns, grunts, and buzz cuts. You know exactly what you're getting with Modern Combat 5: Blackout.

Modern Combat 5: Blackout is a mixed but overall great experience. If you come for the singleplayer campaign, you can easily deduct a number from the final grade due to a fragmented campaign. Are you looking for some great FPS multiplayer action in mobile form, you won’t go wrong. Modern Combat is still the world's best multiplayer shooter series for mobiles.

A must have for action fans.
