F.E.A.R. 3 vs Sky Force Anniversary
F.E.A.R. 3
F.E.A.R. 3 definitely upped the notch by providing players with two incredible characters to play as - either Point Man, a genetically-enhanced soldier with superhuman reflexes and can manipulate time; or the undead spirit of his brother, Paxton Fettel, who wields amazing psychic powers. The AI in the game is as sneaky as ever, forcing you to have heightened combat awareness or you might just get attacked from behind. You can also pilot an enhanced mech in this game, which is always an awesome thing to do.However, many fans of the series feel that the story has been drawn out way past its lifespan and that the story in this installment is just underwhelming. There are also several major plotholes which just further messed up the story. Not to mention, the gunplay in this game seems to be a much-watered down version of its previous games.
So, if you're a hardcore fan of the story, you might still want to get this game while it's on offer just to enjoy some of the better parts of the plot. But if you're a newcomer, you might want to look to its first or second game instead.
Sky Force Anniversary
Sky Force Anniversary brings Sky Force to platforms other than Android and iOS, namely PC and consoles, allowing even more players to enjoy its exhilarating arcade shooting action. It is basically similar to Sky Force 2014 on mobile and features everything you'd expect to find in the latter, including challenging enemies and bosses, large number of missions, weekly PvP tourneys, an in-depth airplane upgrade system along with a wide variety of planes to fly as and weapons to blast enemies into smithereens. In this version, you can also play the game cooperatively with a friend through the game's local multiplayer option.Oddly enough, despite its similarities to Sky Force 2014, Sky Force Anniversary is available on Android as well. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure the game doesn't support cross-platform cooperative gameplay so you can't exactly play with your friend cooperatively if he is on the PC and you on your phone.
Sky Force Anniversary is the best (and only) version of Sky Force that you can get for Nintendo Wii, PlayStation (3, 4 and Vita), and Xbox Live, but if you want to play the game on your mobile, you can get either the Anniversary version (Android only) or the 2014 version.
