N.O.V.A. 2: Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance

Tour the galaxy. See new forms of alien life. Then shoot them in the face.

Space - the fragging frontier. N.O.V.A. 2 goes where its predecessor has gone before, yet it does so with more features, more weapons, tougher enemies, and greater overall polish.

While not all the changes this sequel brings are ideal, the attention to detail and high production values deserve applause.







You can customize your controls but there are almost too many things going on for your fingers – especially without any physical buttons. Weapon selection, reloading, grenades, special powers, jumping, shooting, running, pausing – you can only attach a few of these to muscle memory. It's difficult not to have to look at the buttons to find them in some situations, and if you glance at the wrong moment, it can be deadly.

N.O.V.A. 2 also includes vehicles. The bike is a neat addition, but the giant mechs you can hijack and use to wipe out entire approaching forces are the real gas here. When you climb into the cockpit of a mech and look out across giant arenas and hordes of aliens, you get a real feel for the scale of N.O.V.A. 2.



Speaking of scale, Gameloft upped the online component of N.O.V.A. 2 as well. Now, up to 10 players can participate in online matches. (N.O.V.A. 2 supports local multiplayer, but I suspect the majority of players will go for it online.) Oddly enough, N.O.V.A. 2 only uses Gameloft Live for matchmaking right now. I had hoped to see Game Center integration, but it's missing. There are multiple modes beyond traditional deathmatch, such as capture the flag and the killfest InstaGib. Like Modern Combat 2, Gameloft added a persistent persona for N.O.V.A. 2 where you gain experience for extra ranks and perks.



Already, N.O.V.A. 2 is heating up. I'll be curious to see how things shake out when thousands of players cram the servers, but right now the lag is completely under control. The maps are nicely designed, too. My favorite so far is an alien temple with a lava floor that swallows up those not sure-footed. It's the smoothness and full-featured multiplayer that really puts N.O.V.A. 2 over the top. Even though I like the campaign of Modern Combat 2 more than N.O.V.A. 2, this is a great multiplayer game with lots of action.



Conclusion;
N.O.V.A. 2 is a stunning shooter that should not be missed, especially if you were a fan of the original. Everything has been improved, from the inclusion of the monster mechs to the 10-player online matches that work without hiccups. While it works on older devices, playing N.O.V.A. 2 with a Retina display and gyro is the way to go. The controls are smooth, which helps so much when the action gets furious. While there can be no doubt that N.O.V.A. 2 takes a lot of cues from Halo, there are far worse games to lean on for inspiration. Grab it.
