Archetype
Is It Any Good?
ARCHETYPE has an incredibly sleek and polished look. The controls work very well for a first-person game. And there's a thrill to the tense immediacy of the deathmatch-style action. Fans of Halo, Gears of War, and other similar first-person shooters should revel in the massive bang-for-your-buck they'll get in this $3 app. Archetype is not, in any way, a game for kids, though. Were it a console game, it would easily have earned an "M" (mature) rating.
