The highly anticipated networked online multiplayer action title arrives on the App Store. With immersive gameplay and a single mission option, the game holds it’s own.

Sniper vs. Sniper Soon

Com2Us, of Baseball Sluggers… er… Homerun Battle 3D fame, has a new game on the way. The game, Sniper vs. Sniper Online, is a significant departure from the friendly confines of their masterful homerun derby. After watching the preview video and checking out some screenshots, this may turn out to be the first non-sports game to really thrive online. I’ll never forget when Baseball Sluggers arrived in the app store. It was the very first online game that just worked… every single time, and amazingly still has a user base that plays online all day. If Sniper vs. Sniper works even close to as well, this one will be a surefire hit.

Much like Homerun Battle 3D, Sniper vs. Sniper allows you to seemingly instantly play against anyone online in the world. Also included is a co-op terrorist killing mode… allowing you to show some mercy on your poor friend that just can’t beat you. Another feature brought over from Homerun is the ability to earn special items within the 30 “special missions”… you know, to make your friend hunting sniper skills better.

The game should be live in October, and we should have a review up the following morning. In the meantime, enjoy some more screenshots and an extra video after the break!

This game is really for folks who have tried every other “make a product, sell it to customers before they leave or get angry” style of game. I would try the free one first to see if it holds your interest ~ you might just prefer a burnt hot dog to the game.

Back at E3 I met up with Don Lim from Com2uS, who showed me a few of his upcoming games, one of which being Baseball Sluggers. At first glance, the game looked pretty fun, but certainly nothing groundbreaking. It looked like MLB Slugfest for the iPhone, except without an MLB license and limited only to the home run derby. Being the skeptical gamer that I am, I picked up the game with low expectations, thinking that the game would probably be average at best. But boy, was I wrong.

Instead of showing me all the different menu options and gameplay modes, Don had me just straight into the matchup mode, which is unlike anything else I had ever played on the iPhone. Within a minute of booting up the game, I was engaged in a matchup with one of the beta testers of the game in Korea. The game was easy enough to pick up instantly, but with a variety of pitches and speeds, had enough depth to satisfy my inner gamer. Surprisingly I ended up beating the beta tester, shocking Don… and myself. What can I say guys, I’m just good at sports games.

Baseball Slugger is an extremely fun arcade game with a fantastic online matchup mode. This game is must-buy for baseball fans and non-baseball fans alike.

While World of Tunes only has ten songs, it features a unique full-screen, non-linear gameplay that uniquely utilizes the iPhone’s capabilities and puts it at the forefront of the App Store rhythm genre.
