Our last post about Gameloft must’ve alerted someone at the mobile gaming outfit to our existence, as we’ve just received an announcement that the company’s Brothers in Arms 2: Global Front HD has launched on Android today.
Here’s what it looks like running on Android. We’re guessing men in combat clothing, guns and buildings half turned to rubble:
Always good to see a man on fire in a video game. As ever, Gameloft is a LONE MAVERICK that does not PLAY BY THE RULES – so the game is not on the Android Market. You have to get it direct from Gameloft’s WAP site. Have fun with that.
Here’s the list of supported phones…
HTC Desire HD, HTC Desire Z, HTC My Touch 4G, HTC Scorpion, Motorola Droid 2, Motorola Defy, Motorola Droid X, Motorola Milestone, Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Atlas, Samsung Vibrant, Samsung 4G
..and here’s the game’s spec sheet:
Brothers In Arms® 2: Global Front HD
Description:
The highly acclaimed Brothers in Arms series returns for its most compelling battle yet amidst the fires of WWII. Play the solo Story mode or battle with up to 5 friends in multiplayer conflicts across 5 locations in Africa, Europe and the Pacific. Each environment and character is beautifully rendered in realistic 3D, making the action more lifelike as you dive and duck from cover to cover and assault the enemy. Pick up machine guns, bazookas, sniper rifles, flamethrowers and more, or jump inside a tank, vehicle and even a glider as you press your way through enemy lines.
Features:
Battle across 5 locations: Pacific, Normandy, North Africa, Germany, Sicily.
Challenge up to 5 friends on five multiplayer maps.
Pilot 3 vehicles including the tank, off-road vehicle or glider, or gun down enemies from the vehicle or tank turret
A wide range of realistic weapons: machine guns, bazookas, sniper rifles, flamethrowers and more.
Compelling cinematic moments with more interaction between you and your squad members
Stunning graphics and authentic settings inspired by real life battlefields from WWII.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

Gameloft FAIL.

/ December 7, 2010So no standard HTC Desire? Or would that be the Z?
I can’t believe that it would already drop out of a list of supported devices. Who can buy a new phone every few month…
