Entertaining and well-developed despite clichéd plot

Hero of Sparta is a hack-and-slash action game from developers Gameloft. Already generating a lot of buzz, this highly acclaimed 3-D Grecian epic lives up to the hype and sets a new bar for graphics and gameplay on the iPhone platform. Gameloft is rapidly becoming a developer that people should pay attention to; they’ve now scored two solid hits with their Hero of Sparta action-adventure game and their classic sports-sim Real Soccer 2009.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

Beautiful graphics, on a beautiful phone...

Hero of Sparta is certainly one of the best game app I have on my iPhone. The game control is really easy to use. Its quite easy to understand really, even if it is the first time you are playing with it. The graphics is stunning as well. Easily the best app with the best graphics to date. Even if you successfully finish and unlock all its levels of mission, you wouldn't feel bored at all replaying those that you have already unlocked, because as you make more enemy kills again, you'll get to upgrade and increase the strength of a large selection of weapons in the gameplay. Thus, this makes it interesting to find out the uniqueness of every weapons you can use.The sound setting of the game, pretty much suites the game as well. It surely wouldn't bore you while playing this amazing game on the iPhone. At the same time, it will make your friends jealous and probably kicking themselves for not getting an iPhone or this app, if they haven't already of course. All in all, Hero of Sparta is certainly the best game on my iPhone. I got it at $0.99, and it certainly was a steal considering it used to be priced much hinger then that.
