Eliminate Pro/LiveFire – ngmoco – FREE, App Store

Way back in the day of early June 2009, ngmoco announced Eliminate Pro, an all-new FPS (first person shooter) for the iPhone and iPod Touch. ngmoco announced on their Twitter account yesterday (October 30) that Eliminate Pro was available for download from the app store, but for Canadian users.

It’s actually free, because it’s still considered to be in testing stages, although when we tried it out, it seemed pretty perfect. It has also been leaked around the internet, and since the game is free, it isn’t really illegal. Now where were we…

PS: We aren’t 100% sure what the actual name of this game is. In the app store and online, it’s called Eliminate Pro, but the actual .app of the game is LiveFire.app, so maybe LiveFire was its original name?

Plus+ time! Making a new account is a snap and very user-friendly.

Lots of neat avatars to choose from.

The main menu! We weren’t sure what the “Please wait, connecting to HQ…” thing was about; it would never connect.

In-game documentation. There’s a lot of useful information in here.

You’re a new employee of Arsenal Megacorp, a company that is the global leader of national safety and personal security systems. You’re compensated based off of performance in the combat test arenas. The suit allows the company to track your status. You can practice in the arena, but you will not earn credits. Credits are used to purchase new equipment or upgrade your existing armor or weapons. A stronger employee means a better employee! Enter the combat arena with energy, perform well to earn credits, and use credits to upgrade your equipment.

So when you first open the game, you’ll be greeted with the introduction new recruit orientation video (shown above). It’s about a minute and a half long and tells you some of the basics about the game, including your battle suit. After that, you’ll be asked to log in to plus+’s online and social networking tool. After you’re logged in, you’ll be taken to the main menu!

Here, you can choose from playing the game, upgrading your battle suit and equipment, and the game’s options. Tapping on the “WTF” button in the lower-right will take you to a documentation page that will explain the entire game to you.

The options menu.

At the options menu, you can change look sensitivity by sliding upon the slider. You can also enable four other options, including ‘tap center to zoom’, ‘flip controls’, ‘auto-fire’, and ‘show direction pads’. You can also view the game’s credits, review the introduction video, or review the controls video (shown above). Viewing your achievements and online leaderboards can also be done here.

Stock up on gear, upgrade it, or buy new equipment.

At the Gear Up menu, you can buy and recharge energy, buy new weapons and armor, or upgrade your current inventory.

The Play menu.

If you’re offline, you won’t be able to earn credits.

This is the Play menu. From here, you can choose to play online with strangers, play with your plus+ friends, or play offline in practice mode. In practice mode, you won’t be able to earn new credits or anything like that.

Map selection menu.

There are five amazing levels to choose from. They are all highly detailed and fun to play in. Even with its high amount of detail, it plays great on a jailbroken iPhone 3G.

Controlling your character is very easy. Slide your finger left or right in the middle of the screen to aim. Use the left paddle to move in your desired direction. Tap on the right-center area of the screen to shoot. Double-tap to shoot as well as aim. Tap the bottom of the screen to jump. Tap the top of the screen to pause the game. It’s a very straightforward and exciting first person shooter.

So that about does it for this game. We haven’t had a chance to try online play, but we will update this post when we do. Overall, this game is amazing. Great graphics, great sounds, great gameplay… There isn’t anything else you would really want in a mobile FPS! Instant 5/5!
