This is NOT an Actual Shooter!!

There are so few, good action games coming out in the App Store lately I decided to risk getting this immediately instead of waiting for some reviews or youtube videos of game play. After all, it looked sooo solid, like a real FPS or something like Frontline Commando 2, & described itself as "action," which is what I like. But I want to be in control of the action as that is what a real "shooter" is—you actually control the action to some degree. In Tempo, though, u just watch the action.

This is really just a movie, not a shooter. Your only involvement is tapping the screen now & then, or tracing a line. If that sounds too pathetic to be true . . . download it & ull find out it really is true. Such great graphics, so much potential, ruined by such a pathetic control scheme. I gave it 2 stars instead of one only b/c the graphics & such are great. But Id rather have crappy graphics & great game play instead of great graphics & lame, boring game play that has nothing to do w/an actual shooter.

I actually prefer free games w/IAPs over paid games w/no IAPs, & Tempo is a perfect example as to why: if this was free I would have known immediately it wasnt for me, but instead I wasted $5 bucks to find out its boring & stupid. And the free game w/IAPs model is also better for the developer as well as the consumer: when games are free they get way WAY more downloads/players, & plenty of them will ultimately spend some money on IAPs. I doubt Tempo will make nearly as much money as it could have if it was free w/IAPs b/c at $5 not nearly as many people will download it, especially once people realize its NOT a real shooter!!
