Mafia Rush tries to be an evolution of the simple hack & slash, isometric view games with double-pad control. Beside the well - known survival mode, in which you try to kill all enemies coming from all directions, there are also three other modes: robbery, attack and defend.
In robbery missions you've got to pick up bags with money from the bank, and get them to the escape truck. If an enemy hits you - you drop the bag. Of course you can blast enemies away, pick it up again, and continue to the truck, but you have to remember there's also a time limit. If you spend to much time fighting and picking up lost bags, you can already restart the mission.
Defend missions are just the opposite - you have to defend the money truck, not allowing enemies walk off with too many of your stolen bags. You've got also some tools which will help - i.e. a stationary self-targeting machine-gun turret.
In attack missions, the easiest of them all, you have to find some TNT packages, plant them one by one on a enemy vehicle, run away from the blast radius, and of course stay alive while enemies try to shoot you. It sounds fun - and it is! - but I find those missions really too easy :)
The only weakness of this generally very good app is that the control pads feel weird. Don't get me wrong - they work all right, you turn around and fire in desired direction, but.. It ain't so smooth like in i.e. Gun Bros. Control pads in Gun Bros feel perfect, you turn around so smoothly, responding to every pixel you slide your thumb. Maybe I'm just an old man whining, but every time I play those two games Mafia is a little annoying. Maybe it's just me..
But in the end - Mafia Rush is a game well above average, worth playing at least a few hours.
