By On my way out of the Moscone West today I ran into a gent from Glu Mobile named Clancy. He was nice enough to show me a name game of theirs called Contract Killer that will be headed to the Android market this Friday. It’s a first person shooter which has you taking on contracts to assassinate or capture whoever your client needs assassinated or captured.
It’s not an open-ended FPS – you’re sent to a predetermined vantage point as you wait for your soon-to-be dead (or tranq’d) foe to come into view. It’s then where you’ll take a shot and hope to finish the deed and collect your reward. Killing a hostage in certain missions will cause you to fail, but others are a bit more tolerant and will instead take away from your reward after the job is finished.
There are a ton of weapons to choose from with most of them being sniper rifles. I didn’t have much time to play it at the booth so I don’t know how much of an advantage it is having one weapon over another. (Rest assured I’ll be playing a lot before the night is over.) The graphics look good and it may seem shallow at first glance, but we won’t pass judgment having not played it fully for ourselves. Look out for it on the Android market this Friday. (Pricing has not been disclosed.)
Looks like a promising idea but seems to run kind of slow.
YOU’RE kind of slow
Lol I never said I wouldn’t buy it. I just hope it doesn’t run so choppy in the final build
So this is Angry birds on first person view and instead of chucking birds we send out bullets with a gun… ……….Not really a FPS game. More like Metal Gear Solid Touch…side scroll
This a pretty good game
any game is better than angry birds, I’m so sick of people taking about angry birds, it’s soo boring.
Plus, this game sucks.
Haven’t you tried modern combat 2, it’s so much better.
This is my favorite iPod touch game, one of 2 apps i’m missing with android
what’s the other?
Excellent video!!..
Seriously where you drunk when you shot this? I mean its okay if you were but DAMN…You are filming a DEMO, hold the cameraphone still!!
Kind of hard to do that with dozens of people needing to get by you each minute.
Does Contract Killer allow you to avoid paying the Early Termination Fee?
