My only gripe is still with the controls, and the lack of precision. Without the auto-aiming, it could have been a totally different experience, as swiping to get your crosshairs over a moving enemy was sometimes an exercise in frustration. Despite this, NOVA 3 would still appeal to all FPS gamers who have been wishing for a decent mobile experience.

Derivative, buggy, boring. N.O.V.A. 3 is nowhere near console quality.

One of the best first-person shooters on mobiles, but controls are still irksome. [Aug 2012, p.86]

Now I don’t think this game is particularly better than a lot of the other games I’ve reviewed but this is quite possibly the best mobile game I’ve ever played. I am not a huge fan of Halo (Playstation user, but my favorite Halo is Halo 2) but this game is really good for a game on smartphone. Basically a Halo clone but clone or not, its still good.

Para mi este juego fue lo mejor, porque su jugabilidad y sabiendo que fue lanzado en 2012, es algo muy bueno para dicha época un juego con todas estas características, lo recomiendo mucho su algún día Gameloft lo volviera a sacar al mercado, es un juego que marco mi infancia y comparándolo con nova Legacy no se parecen en nada, y que este ultimo salió mucho después y no se comparan en nada.

Качественный шутер. Halo, только для андроид.
Сюжет неплохой, но не выдающиеся.
Геймплей интересный, в конце стал ещё интереснее

The console-quality handheld debate is likely to continue for a while, but N.O.V.A 3 is the first title I've seen that pushes the quality of a handheld release this far.

The multiplayer in N.O.V.A. 3 is awesome. The game has some issues with connections every now and again, and there seems to be a scarcity of players in some of the modes. While it might not be perfect like the single player, it is pretty damn close.

NOVA 3 is a great game: a long and entertaining story, a solid gameplay and a huge multiplayer section makes this title one of the best of its genre.

The NOVA series once again pushes iOS devices large and small to new visual heights, but also manages to stumble over key features, letting the whole production down; thankfully the multiplayer is as rock-solid as ever and fleshes out what the campaign can't execute on.

Probably my favorite mobile game. This has everything you need; a decent (if somewhat generic) story, sound effects/music/voice acting worth using earphones for, console-quality graphics, fun and varied campaign gameplay...multiplayer was truly amazing too, though it's fairly deserted now (the game is currently a few months shy of seven years old). When I'm sitting on a train/bus or in a waiting room, I just pull out my phone and play through the campaign. Definitely worth the $6.99 imo, even without multiplayer.

For an iOS game this is amazing. It really has a console feel to it, mixing styles like Halo, Crysis and Killzone. The campaign is a little short, but the multiplayer is active, relatively balanced and fun. 10/10 recommend

I don't know why people say it but this IS console quality. The game is really well made, great graphics, gameplay and campaign. This is definitely a must have!

N.O.V.A. 3 has some of the best graphics there is on IOS games. There is Campaign mode which has a great plot with several action-packed levels. But that is nothing compared to the online multiplayer mode. You can play online with random people or friends, as well as local wifi with friends. You're sure to be happy and mad and having tons of fun.

Its actually a good game but I experieced a lot of bugs where I need to restart the game and a lot of my progress will be lost. Nevertheless, for a mobile game this has great graphics.
