Anyone truly able to play this game with no lag on a 4th gen iPod Touch? I’m planning on investing in one for Christmas for myself, just wondering how it runs on the single core.

It should be completely fine. We’ve seen it running perfectly on a 3GS, so I think a 4th generation iPod Touch will do just sweeelllll

It runs terrible on all non iPad 2/4S Retina display devices. The framerate makes it unplayable at times.

Where is the footage of it running on a 3GS? I haven’t seen that yet. Would love to though.

If anyone has bought it, how does it compare to the first Infinity Blade? I thought it was ok, but there wasn’t enough gameplay to justify spending $7 on it. Does the sequel have more variety to it or is it more of the same?

From what I’ve read there’s 4x as many locations and there are more attach options. The story seems to be more integrated or at the forefront than before. One review that I read of it said that it took about hours to play from start to finish and reach the final boss.

^^ Geez @ my spelling. More ATTACK options and 6 hours to reach the final dude.

Just got around to buying Infinity Blade this past weekend and haven’t even had a chance to really play it yet… Toooooo much to do… not enough time….
Just bought the sequel… Not sure why, I probably won’t get to play it until I graduate next year… Heh.

Every time I play the original Infinity Blade people are always astonished at how good it looks. The level of detail for a smartphone game is so amazing!

Anyone got it for the iPad 1 as yet? It looks incredible, but I just want to make sure that the performance is OK before getting it.
Read elsewhere that it’s crashing on boot for some folks using the older compatible devices – 3GS, iPad 1, iTouch 4G – especially with iOS 5.0.1 installed (and yes, after hard resets, airplane mode, etc).

Bought it on my iPad 1. It crashes constantly on boot. It took me half an hour of opening and closing the app, as well as restarting my iPad and turning on Airplane mode, for it to work. I have to turn on Airplane mode, sign out of Gamecenter, and turn the screen on and off in the middle of the opening cutscene every few seconds for it to get to the point that I can actually play it. I have the same problems with the original game (even after restoring with and without a backup). I love my iPad, but it’s problems like this that make me want to either get an Android or Windows 8 tablet next year.

Same problems here (ipad 1, IB1, Ios 5.01) – when I first installed, I played for about an hour without issue. Then couldn’t get it to load again no matter what I tried. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it and that did fix it (of course, I lost all progress, so haven’t decided if I’m going to start over or not.)
Only bright spot is, I bought it over thxgvg, so was only $3.
I’d love to agree with you about android tablet instead, but you aren’t going to find an experience that polished outside of ios (when it works, of course) anytime soon.

It’s been working fine on my iPad (1) with 5.0.1.
Performance wise it’s not the smoothest game but it plays well and looks pretty great!
Sorry to hear you guys are having problems with your iPads.

What’s the difference in smoothness? The difference between iPad and iPad 2 with Real Racing 2 HD? Or is it closer?

Is this worth $7.00? I’m afraid of disappointment.
